Abstract: This comprehensive review paper meticulously explores the research on corporate governance (CG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR), integrating bibliometric analysis and a theory, context, characteristics, methodology (TCCM) framework. The bibliometric analysis, encompassing performance analysis and science mapping, unveils trends, patterns, seminal contributions, and emerging intellectual patterns elucidating the evolution of CG and CSR discourse. Through a rigorous assessment of extensive literature, key themes, authors, and influential publications are identified, positioning the study at the forefront of CG and CSR research. Further, the TCCM framework facilitates a nuanced exploration, providing an in-depth understanding of theoretical, contextual, characteristic, and methodological dimensions within CG and CSR. This dual-faceted approach offers a multidimensional perspective, significantly enriching the existing body of knowledge. Also, by synergising quantitative bibliometric findings with TCCM insights, the paper highlights literature gaps, suggests future research directions, and enhances the comprehension of CG and CSR's complex interplay. This study serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, aiding in navigating the evolving CG and CSR landscape, and contributing to the advancement of responsible and ethical corporate practices.
