Download or read book The Fair Trade Scandal written by Ndongo Sylla and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical account of the fair trade movement explores the vast gap between the rhetoric of fair trade and its practical results for poor countries, particularly those of Africa. In the Global North, fair trade often is described as a revolutionary tool for transforming the lives of millions across the globe. The growth in sales for fair trade products has been dramatic in recent years, but most of the benefit has accrued to the already wealthy merchandisers at the top of the value chain rather than to the poor producers at the bottom. Ndongo Sylla has worked for Fairtrade International and offers an insider’s view of how fair trade improves—or doesn’t—the lot of the world’s poorest. His methodological framework first describes the hypotheses on which the fair trade movement is grounded before going on to examine critically the claims made by its proponents. By distinguishing local impact from global impact, Sylla exposes the inequity built into the system and the resulting misallocation of the fair trade premium paid by consumers. The Fair Trade Scandal is an empirically based critique of both fair trade and traditional free trade; it is the more important for exploring the problems of both from the perspective of the peoples of the Global South, the ostensible beneficiaries of the fair trade system.

Download or read book Le commerce quitable written by Jean-Pierre Doussin and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2009 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Le commerce, pas la charité ", ce fut la recommandation de la conférence des Nation Unies pour le commerce et le développement dès sa première réunion, en 1964. Le commerce équitable s'est progressivement bâti sur cette idée : faire du commerce un instrument de développement au service des populations défavorisées des pays du Sud devenant ainsi autonomes et maîtresses de leur destin. Le concept fait son chemin : l'utopie de départ fait place maintenant à une réalité de plus en plus forte. Pour autant, si cette idée est d'une simplicité lumineuse, sa réalisation ne l'est pas nécessairement. Diverses approches se rencontrent, des conceptions doctrinales s'affrontent, parfois durement. Cet ouvrage propose une synthèse et une mise en perspective de ce qu'est le commerce équitable.

Download or read book The Fight for Ethical Fashion written by Philip Balsiger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From consumer boycotts and buycotts to social movement campaigns, examples of individual and collective actors forging political struggles on markets are manifold. The clothing market has been a privileged site for such contention, with global clothing brands and retailers being targets of consumer mobilization for the past 20 years. Labels and product lines now attest for the ethical quality of clothes, which has, in turn, given rise to ethical fashion. The Fight for Ethical Fashion unveils the actors and processes that have driven this market transformation through a detailed study of the Europe-wide coordinated campaign on workers’ rights in the global textile industry - the Clean Clothes Campaign. Drawing on insights from qualitative fieldwork using a wide range of empirical sources, Philip Balsiger traces the emergence of this campaign back to the rise of ’consumer campaigns’ and shows how tactics were adapted to market contexts in order to have retailers adopt and monitor codes of conduct. By comparing the interactions between campaigners and their corporate targets in Switzerland and France (two countries with a very different history of consumer mobilization for political issues), this ground-breaking book also reveals how one campaign can provoke contrasting reactions and forms of market change.

Download or read book From Critique to Action written by Nabil Sultan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the application of ethical thinking to business, management and computing. The authors are not professional philosophers but lecturers, researchers and practitioners based at Liverpool Hope University (LHU) and other international institutes, who have a particular approach that will appeal to pedagogic and scholarly interests as well as to more general readers. Some of the authors are faculty colleagues at LHU, others are directly or indirectly connected with it through teaching and/or research cooperation. At LHU the ethical dimension runs through every aspect of its corporate life; it is embodied in its corporate mission statement that gives its teaching and research a special flavour, touching other people’s lives and professional practice. This book brings together some significant areas of leading edge research and scholarship in the context of engagement with communities of practice, locally, regionally and professionally, with international students, police, teachers, housing managers, ambulance workers, etc. Most of the chapters are based on the practical experience of the contributors but written in an accessible way. There is a strong intercultural and transnational flavour in this book. It is explicitly cross-disciplinary, and will appeal to readers from areas like organization analysis, computer studies and information systems as well as philosophy and ethics.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Mutual Co Operative and Co Owned Business written by Jonathan Michie and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Mutuals and Co-Owned Business investigates all types of 'member owned' organizations, whether consumer co-operatives, agricultural and producer co-operatives, worker co-operatives, mutual building societies, friendly societies, credit unions, solidarity organizations, mutual insurance companies, or employee-owned companies. Such organizations can be owned by their consumers, the producers, or the employees - whether through single-stakeholder or multi-stakeholder ownership. This complex set of organizations is named differently across countries: from 'mutual' in the UK, to 'solidarity cooperatives' in Latin America. In some countries, such organizations are not even officially recognized and thus lack a specific denomination. For the sake of clarity, this Handbook will refer to member-owned organizations to encompass the variety of non-investor-owned organizations, and in the national case study chapters the terms used will be those most widely employed in that country. These alternative corporate forms have emerged in a variety of economic sectors in almost all advanced economies since the time of the industrial revolution and the development of capitalism, through the subsequent creation and dominance of the limited liability company. Until recently, these organizations were generally regarded as a rather marginal component of the economy. However, over the past few years, member-owned organizations have come to be seen in some countries, at least, as potentially attractive in light of their ability to tackle various economic and social concerns, and their relative resilience during the financial and economic crises of 2007-2013.

Download or read book Mettre en march pour une cause written by Marie-France Turcotte and published by Puq. This book was released on 2010 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le commerce équitable se veut un outil à la fois de développement des conditions des producteurs marginalisés du Sud et de conscientisation des consommateurs. Pour instaurer des changements institutionnels concrets, ce mouvement doit toutefois s'insérer dans ce marché conventionnel qu'il souhaite tant transformer, risquant de ne plus représenter alors qu'une offre de niche parmi d'autres. Comment compose-t-il donc avec ce double objectif social et économique ? L'ouvrage expose les succès et les difficultés liés à la mise en oeuvre du commerce équitable, de même que les tensions qu'engendre l'utilisation des mécanismes de mise en marché pour promouvoir la cause. Ses auteurs, en portant un regard réflexif fondé sur plusieurs disciplines, dont la gestion et la sociologie, mettent en lumière les défis de ce phénomène et les avenues prometteuses à explorer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une multitude d’organisations de paysans et de petits producteurs ont mis sur pied un marché parallèle aux règles de fonctionnement plus éthiques : le commerce équitable. Elles ont choisi de construire ce mouvement en dehors des logiques scientifiques de l’agriculture moderne, en se basant sur la sagesse indigène qui a toujours su faire vivre les hommes et protéger la terre. Il est urgent de reconstruire les liens entre les hommes, de redonner au marché un visage humain, se préoccupant des dimensions aussi bien écologiques que sociales. Francisco VanderHoff Boersma nous amène à comprendre les problématiques qui traversent la vie des petits paysans et comment ils ont mis en place un mouvement garantissant un marché plus juste et solidaire. Frans van der Hoff Boersma est cofondateur du label Commerce équitable Max Havelaar.
