| Abstract: |
The so-called mutually beneficial relationship between free market economy and common good in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has always been contested issue. CSR was born out of the failure to harness corporations by governments, resulting into corporate self-management and thus seen by some Marxist scholars as an attempt to justify the oppression and exploitation of the corporate world. This paper looks at CSR from the eyes of the subaltern publics, revives the dependency theory and uses it to look at how local communities in Tanzania cope with liberalism in their areas as corporation try to soften the pain of exploitation by using CSR. The author shows that in CSR, the devil and the saint co-exist; that corporations enter a local community through one door, destroy the livelihood of the people, and then come in through the other door and pretend to offer help in the mess they created or worsened. This paper, however, shows that some local communities in Tanzania are starting to realize the evil behind the veil behind of some CSR projects and have started to reject CSR initiatives as a way to cope and send message to the corporate world and the government of their country. Instead of receiving the little offered by CSR, the cry is now, for more or nothing. The paper concludes that neo-liberalism, represented by international corporations in a number of local communities with resources, is proving difficult for the natives, forcing them to come up with coping mechanisms, some of which prove to be fatal as they lead to violence and sometimes deaths. The paper recommends that corporations should stop using CSR as a means to make exploitation and oppression of liberalism acceptable, instead use it to create inclusive growth for the people around areas of their business operations. |
