This book focuses on corporate social responsibility (CSR) records of Chinese oil investments
in five Latin American countries: Peru Ecuador Argentina Colombia and Venezuela. These
investments have been spearheaded by China's national oil companies and their behavior has been
scantly studied. The author uses comparative case studies to empirically examine existing
theories of CSR. By using oil companies as the basic unit of analysis this project adds a
micro-level dimension to the field of China-Latin America relationship. It is ideal for
audiences interested in the political economy of the oil industry China Latin America and
corporate social responsibility.
