Det svarta guldet : en studie om transnationella oljeföretags samhällsansvar i utvecklingsstater med oljetillgångar

Sammanfattning: The relationship between vast resources of oil and development has repeatedly provento be a problematic one, and the reality shows that development states who are (un)blessed with the resource always have struggle with economic growth, civil wars, human rights torts and social development. TNC:s with oil interests claims that oil and development do match and that their presence in development states increases the state’s chance to development. The problem I will focus on in this essay concerns even might make the situation worse for the oil rich development state. I discuss if and how TNC:s should have a greater social responsibility for the states they’re exploiting in, both in a legal and moral way. The conclusion of the study is that TNC:s do have a corporate social responsibility when they’re active in oil rich states, partly because the fact that human rights concerns everyone in the world and due to the TNC:s large economic assets and therefore their capability of contributing to development.
