Introduction
This chapter establishes the aims, rationale, and scope of the book, providing a detailed introduction to the use, affect, and violation of the corporate social license, a term frequently extended to the social license to operate. The social license - a public perception that can be earned, lost, and regained - fits within the wider remit of corporate social responsibility as a form of private business self-regulation through normative pressure. Examples are provided to link social license to established models of business legitimacy, ethical practice, and conformance, and conversely episodes of business illegitimacy, malpractice and corruption.

Abstract
This chapter establishes the aims, rationale, and scope of the book, providing a detailed introduction to the use, affect, and violation of the corporate social license, a term frequently extended to the social license to operate. The social license - a public perception that can be earned, lost, and regained - fits within the wider remit of corporate social responsibility as a form of private business self-regulation through normative pressure. Examples are provided to link social license to established models of business legitimacy, ethical practice, and conformance, and conversely episodes of business illegitimacy, malpractice and corruption.
