2. OVERVIEW
It is broadly accepted by policymakers that a community’s
institutional environment or social infrastructure is a key
determinant of economic growth pattern and poverty reduction.
From this perspective, frameworks that promote sustainable
coexistence and the rule of law are particularly conducive to
desirable economic behaviour. This belief aid the deployment of
corporate resources for community-driven initiatives designed to
promote social cohesion and better governance at the local level.
Nonetheless, can CSR initiatives alter local political dynamics and
