      abstract = {This book explores the linkages between the evolution of  corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate  financing and governance in Japan since the late 2000s.  Since the 1990s, increasing economic and financial  globalization has steadily eroded the Japanese style of  business based on relationships and influenced the  awareness and practices of CSR that are unique to Japanese  companies. In Japan’s two “lost decades” after the bubble  economy, the business model and corporate financing seem to  have continued a gradual financial reform toward a more  market-oriented system. CSR awareness and practices of  Japanese companies have been influenced by social and  environmental issues that global society and communities  face. Furthermore, the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011  triggered increasing attention paid to the responsibility  of business toward society. In this process, major players  in corporate governance and components of governance  structure have continued to change. The conventional view  of Japanese corporate governance and corporate finance is  too narrow to understand this field in Japan. This book is  based on empirical research to investigate how multifaceted  CSR has aligned with business and finance and has  influenced the corporate governance structure of Japanese  companies. The findings and discussions in this book act  are stepping stones in further research on the linkages  between business and society, and provide empirical  evidence on changes in Japanese corporate finance and  governance.},
