This book traces the historic relationships between cotton
production, the international cotton trade and poverty south of the
Sahara, and assesses various approaches to corporate social
responsibility and nongovernmental policy advocacy in this area.
Thousands of people around the world are currently engaged in
efforts which they believe will make African cotton work better for
the millions of people who grow this crop and the millions more who
depend upon it. This book traces the historic relationships between
cotton and poverty south of the Sahara and assesses aspects of the
new social concern evident in the area. Taking an empirical
international political economy approach, it details the ways in
which globalization has enabled poverty reduction and poverty
maintenance on African cotton farms. Sneyd argues that while cotton
farming and poverty will be connected for many years to come, there
is hope that these issues are now on the agenda.
