Crosspollination between the transitional justice (tj) and business and human rights (B&H) fields has led to a growing scholarly focus on the role of corporations during political transition. Recent studies have highlighted examples of corporate responsibility, such as the prosecution of Nazi industrialists in Germany, the South African Truth Commission’s efforts to underscore corporate accountability in apartheid politics, and initiatives in Argentina and Brazil to expose the conspiracy of automobile companies, such as Ford and Volkswagen, with military dictatorships. These experiences – where communities, victims, trade unions, and even governments have endeavoured to con- front corporate impunity in politically transitional contexts – have prompted a group of scholars with a primary interest in the tj paradigm to broaden the field’s traditional state-centric perspective to encompass the extent of the liability of private and predominantly economic actors.
