Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine corporate disclosure of stakeholder-oriented actions on Twitter in response to COVID-19 during the pandemic outbreak and to empirically investigate whetherfirms' social performance and their financial resilience impact on their engagement in, and communication of, stakeholder-oriented COVID-19 actions.
Design/methodology/approach
This study scrapes a sample of tweets communicated by major global listed firms between March 1, 2020 and April 30, 2020 and identifies disclosures that mention firm engagement in stakeholder-oriented actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cross-sectional regression analysis is used to examine the relationship between firms' social performance and the number of tweets they post about stakeholder-oriented COVID-19 actions. Further, firms' financial resilience is examined as a moderating factor of this relationship.
Findings
The results show that firms with better social performance are more likely to engage in and, hence, communicate stakeholder-oriented actions for the COVID-19 pandemic on Twitter. Moreover, it is evident that firms with better social performance communicate more stakeholder-oriented actions only when they belong to industries that have not been severely impacted by the pandemic.
Originality/value
This study has two important contributions. First, this study provides contemporary evidence of corporate disclosure of firms and their stakeholder-oriented actions on Twitter in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the initial outbreak period. Second, it reveals insights into what characteristics drive firms to engage in costly corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, and promote them on social media, in a period characterized by high economic uncertainty.

Drawing on a documentary analysis of two socio-economic policy programs, one Flemish ("Vlaanderen In Actie"), the other Walloon ("Marshall Plans"), and a discourse analysis of how these programs are received in one Flemish and one Francophone quality newspaper, this paper illustrates how Flanders and Wallonia both seek to become top-performing knowledge-based economies (KBEs). The paper discerns a number of discursive repertoires, such as "Catching up," which policy actors draw on to legitimize or question the transformation of Flanders and Wallonia into KBEs. The "Catching up" repertoire places Flanders resolutely ahead of Wallonia in the global race towards knowledge, excellence, and growth, but suggests that Wallonia may, in due course, overtake Flanders as a top competitive region. Given the expectations and/or fears that "Catching up" evokes among Flemish and Walloon policy actors, the repertoire serves these actors as a flexible discursive resource to make sense of, and shape, their collective futures, and thus their identities. The primary aim of the paper is to underline the simultaneity of, and the interplay between, globalizing forces and particularizing tendencies, as Flanders and Wallonia develop with a global KBE in nation- or region-specific ways.

Since the beginnings of the twentieth century social work has exhibited a thoroughgoing moral indifference to the needs and wellbeing of our fellow animals. This indifference is all the more remarkable given that animals have always been part and parcel of the human world within which social workers practice. Their invisibility is odder still given our own species embeddedness within the natural world. Social Work and Animals represents a pioneering contribution to the literature of social work ethics and moral philosophy. Lucidly and cogently arguing why it is that animals ought to matter morally to social workers, it engages in a sustained critique of the key moral principles that are deemed to underpin practice. It articulates an alternative moral principle that respects individuals irrespective of species membership. This principle informs a revised code of ethics, one which has profound theoretical and practical implications for social work and its practitioners.

Social Policy and the Ethic of Care, Olena Hankivsky,
Vancouver: UBC Press, 2004, pp. 178.In this tightly argued text, Olena Hankivsky examines "the
potential of an ethic of care to transform the assumptions, content,
concepts and meaning of social justice" (30). This is a big task for
a small book but the author not only makes a persuasive theoretical case
for an ethic of care but also manages to demonstrate the practical
efficacy of her argument by showing how an ethic of care can inspire a
reformation of social policy. The liberal case for social justice, the
author contends, falls flat and remains abstract unless it is
fundamentally transformed by the normative assumptions that arise from a
moral landscape fully informed by the ubiquity of human interdependence.
The liberal conception of social justice is shackled by its emphasis on
the autonomous citizen and an abstract conception of humanity. It fails to
recognize that rights arise from needs.
