Civil Resistance and Corporate Behavior; Mapping Trends and Assessing Impact — Research and Innovation Grants Working Papers Series — by Erica Chenoweth & Tricia D. Olsen, University of Denver — August 12, 2016
For this paper, the research team constructed a pilot dataset to study how citizens organize against corporate human rights abuses and how corporations operating in Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, and South Africa respond to civil resistance. The findings suggest that multiple coordinated citizen-led events were more effective at gaining concessions from targeted corporations; that corporations undergoing leadership changes were more open to making concessions; and, that corporations operating in effective rule of law settings were more willing to make concessions than those operating in countries with less legal accountability.
