DESCRIPTION:The Oxford Business and Human Rights Network and the SOAS Scho
 ol of Law invite you to the launch of the third edition of the seminal boo
 k 'Multinational Enterprises and the Law' (Oxford University Press\, 2021)
  by Professor Peter Muchlinski (with a contribution from Dr Ebbe Rogge). T
 he study is the only comprehensive\, contemporary\, and interdisciplinary 
 account of the techniques used to regulate multinational enterprises (MNEs
 ) at the national\, regional\, and multilateral levels. In addition\, it c
 onsiders the effects of corporate self-regulation\, and the impact of civi
 l society and community groups upon the development of the legal order in 
 this area. The book was first published in 1995 and has been thoroughly re
 vised and updated for this third edition\, making it a definitive referenc
 e work for students\, researchers\, and practitioners of international eco
 nomic law\, business\, corporate and commercial law\, development studies\
 , and international politics. Among other issues\, the book examines the s
 ocial dimension of MNE regulation covering labour rights\, human rights\, 
 and environmental issues. This panel discussion will focus on the evolutio
 n of the business and human rights debate over the last two decades and di
 scuss the risks\, challenges\, and opportunities businesses face in the ev
 olving regulatory landscape. Authors of the book will be joined by Profess
 or John Ruggie (Harvard Kennedy School of Government)\; Professor Barnali 
 Choudhury (UCL)\; Professor Surya Deva (City University of Hong Kong)\; Ra
 e Lindsay (Clifford Chance)\; John Morrison (Institute for Human Rights an
