'This Handbook is a long-needed, comprehensive examination of fair
trade's multifaceted and shifting coordinates by leading scholars
from a wide range of disciplines. An invaluable resource for
researchers and students alike.' - Daniel Jaffee, Portland State
University 'Raynolds and Bennett have done a major service with
this excellent Handbook, providing a sweeping overview of the past
quarter century of fair trade work and research. The book offers
wide-ranging insights from top experts concerned with theory and
practice, and careful attention to fair trade's gains and losses.
It will be of great interest to practitioners, activists, and
scholars, and bound to be a cornerstone for the next phase of fair
trade work and research.' - Gavin Fridell, Saint Mary's University,
Canada Fair trade critiques the historical inequalities inherent in
international trade and seeks to promote social justice by creating
alternative networks linking marginalized producers (typically in
the global South) with progressive consumers (typically in the
global North). This unique and wide-ranging Handbook analyzes key
topics in fair trade, illuminating major theoretical and empirical
issues, assessing existing research, evaluating central debates and
identifying critical unanswered questions. The first of its kind,
this volume brings together 43 of the foremost fair trade scholars
from around the world and across the social sciences. The Handbook
serves as both a comprehensive overview and in-depth guide to
dominant perspectives and concerns. Chapters analyze the rapidly
growing fair trade movement and market, exploring diverse
initiatives and organizations, production and consumption regions,
and food and cultural products. Written for those new to fair trade
as well as those well versed in this domain, the Handbook is an
invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners interested in
global regulation, multi-stakeholder initiatives, social and
environmental certification, ethical labeling, consumer activism
and international development. Contributors: C.M. Bacon, G.
