Oliver F. Williams, C.S.C and S. Prakash Sethi, (Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2001) (Published in hardbound in 2000 by Kluwer Academic Press, Cambridge, MA)

Williams and Sethi offer an in-depth and systematic analysis of the workings of the Sullivan Principles, a code of conduct created in 1977 by civil rights leader Rev. Leon Sullivan for U.S. companies operating in South Africa. The authors examine the impact of the Sullivan Principles on the interactions of foreign corporations with South Africa. They also consider how the experience of the Sullivan Principles might instruct the process of developing codes of ethics as large multi-national corporations cope with issues of human rights, living and working conditions of workers, environmental protection, and sustainable growth in their overseas manufacturing operations.
