Economic development that is environmentally, socially and
ethically sound is at the forefront of contemporary debates all
over the world. This is especially relevant to international trade
where goods manufactured in least developed countries (LDCs) are
being exported to developed countries (DCs) via international
supply chains. This book looks at Bangladesh's ready-made garments
(RMG) industry - the seventh largest in the world - facing demands
for environmental and social management according to standards set
by consumers in environmentally progressive societies. Apart from
these concerns not having found cultural or institutional resonance
in Bangladesh, the pressures for cost reduction, on-time delivery
and cheap labour in a highly competitive international market make
the problem that much more complex. In this book Selim uses the
analytical framework provided by the ecological modernisation
theory to examine the economic, communicative and social political
aspects of ethical trade, and argues that the economy-ecology
relationship can indeed be a positive sum game if nation-states and
economic actors change their policymaking styles and greening
behaviour to take advantage of scientific evidence and green
technological opportunities.
