Private regulatory initiatives aim to govern supply chains across
the globe according to a set of environmental, food safety and/or
social standards. Until now, literature on the topic has been
fragmented and divided by research fields. However, this unique and
comprehensive book bridges these disciplinary and thematic research
lines, bringing together an interdisciplinary group of leading
scholars to identify key issues. The expert contributors assess the
state-of-the-art with regard to private regulation of food, natural
resources and labour conditions. They begin with an introduction
to, and discussion of, several leading existing private standards,
and go on to assess private food standards and their legitimacy and
effectiveness in the context of the global trade regime. This truly
multidisciplinary assessment of the scope and importance of private
standards as a governance tool in a globalizing world will prove to
be an enlightening read for a wide-ranging audience encompassing:
academics, students, researchers, policymakers and analysts
focusing on private forms of governance in several sectors
including economics, law, politics, development, environment and
agriculture. Contributors: E. Becault, F. Cafaggi, L. Colen, L.
Cuyvers, T. De Meyer, N. Hachez, S. Henson, J. Humphrey, M.
Maertens, A. Marx, J. Swinnen, G.H. Stanton, F. van Waarden, J.
