This open access book focuses on the issue of sustainability
standards from the perspective of both global governance frameworks
and emerging economies. It stems from the recognition that the
accelerated pace of economic globalization has generated production
and consumption patterns that are generating sustainability
concerns. Sustainability standards (and regulations) are
increasingly being used in a bid to make global consumption and
production more sustainable. Given the dense inter-connectedness of
economic affairs globally, the use of sustainability standards has
become a concern of global governance, who face the challenge of
achieving a balance between the use of standards for genuine
sustainability objectives, and not allowing them to turn into
instruments of protectionism or coercion.The emerging economies,
given their increasing engagement with the global economy, are most
impacted by the use of sustainability standards. The emphasis of
'emerging economies' in this book is retained both by using case
studies from these economies and by collating perceptions and
assessments of those located in these economies. The case studies
included span sectors such as palm oil, forestry, food quality,
vehicular emissions and water standards, and address the problems
unique to the emerging economies, including capacity building for
compliance with standards, adapting international standards in
domestic contexts and addressing the exclusion of small and medium
enterprises etc. Complex interfaces and dynamics of a global nature
are not limited to the thematic of this book but also extend to the
process through which it was written. This book brings together
insights from developed as well as emerging economies (Germany,
India, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mexico and China). It
also brings together scholars and practitioners to jointly ponder
upon the conceptual aspects of the global frameworks for
sustainability standards. This book is a very useful resource for
researchers and practitioners alike, and provides valuable insights
for policy makers as well.
