Timothy L Fort Corporate Foreign Policy sku-45968812

The Diplomat in the Corner Office is a Peace Political Books hardcover by Timothy L Fort (sku-45968812). A founder of the business and peace movement, Fort traces its shift from a niche position to a mainstream economic and international relations perspective over the past 15 years. He argues that businesses can help build peace and gain a strategic advantage by doing so.

Drawing on economics and international relations, he proposes adding corporate foreign policy to familiar ideas of corporate responsibility and ethics. Case studies examine companies that pursue peace as a goal in itself or as a way to build their businesses. Fort discusses peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding, then proposes policies for businesses, civil society and government.

The book is intended for students, scholars and leaders in NGOs, government and business.
