%0 Journal Article %T Unearthing Sedimentation Dynamics in Political CSR: The Case of Colombia %D 2017 %@ 1573-0697 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10906/81674 %X The stream on political corporate social responsibility (PCSR) argues that companies have recently assumed state-like roles to influence global governance. However, following emerging calls for greater contextualization of CSR, we trace the historic evolution of PCSR in the case of Colombia and argue that such political engagement by firms is not new. Looking beyond a linear chronological account, we reveal the sedimentation process behind PCSR by exploring the archetypical political roles businesses have taken on in providing public goods and acting as regulators, and chart their transformation. %K Responsabilidad social %K Sedimentación %K Responsabilidad social corporativa %K Colombia %K Ciencias socio biomédicas %K Medical sciences %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
