Seeking Justice: Access to Remedy for Corporate Human Rights Abuse delves into the diverse experiences of victims in their quest for remedies against corporate human rights abuse. It presents a novel theory on the potential for constructive contestation and examines the governance outcomes for victims of corporate human rights abuse across Latin America. This foundation underpins three pathways for victims to assert their rights: engaging within institutional environments, leveraging corporate characteristics, and amplifying voices. Seeking Justice challenges prevailing assumptions in the governance gap literature and posits that greater democratic practices can arise from productive contestation. This book raises challenging questions about the trade-offs associated with economic growth and the competing values surrounding human dignity, which are particularly pertinent in today's world as citizens contemplate the types of democratic and economic systems that can best prepare us for the future.
