Abstract

This debate brings together researchers and practitioners to explore the complex relationships between companies, activists, and regulators. How have activists impacted companies, and how have companies responded? What challenges do activists face, and how have they changed their approach over time? How do we evaluate the successes and failures of activism in changing companies for the common good?
