This forward-looking book introduces the concept of Ethical Value
Networks, building upon a theoretical exploration with primary
evidence of their impacts in the Global South. It moves away from
focusing on the consumption section of networks, with grounded
impact studies that explore ethicality as a concept, how ethical
value is created and how this is distributed through the
socio-economy. Framed by theoretical exploration and reflection,
the book offers a selection of case studies from Africa, Latin
America, the Pacific, and Southeast Asia to highlight the
implications of Ethical Value Networks for producers and localities
in the Global South. Chapters further analyse and critique the rise
of the ethical trade and certification schemes, as well as three
ethical trade constellations: social justice through fair trade,
sustainability through organic agriculture, and authenticity
through geographic indications. The in-depth analysis of ethical
trading in wine, coffee, fruit and other key sectors combined with
theoretical study will make this an important read for ethical
trade researchers as well as policy makers and those responsible
for the governance and operation of ethical value networks. It will
also be an invigorating read for economic geography, development
studies, international development and management studies scholars.
This book provides an overview of what aid is, how it has changed
over time and how it is practiced, as well as debates about whether
aid works, for whom and what its future might be. The text shows
how 'aid' is a contested and fluid concept that involves a wide and
changing variety of policies, actors and impacts. It equips the
reader with an understanding of what aid is, where it comes from
and where it goes, how it is delivered and what its impacts are,
and whether shortcomings are a result of a fundamental problem with
aid, or merely the result of bad practices. It explores the
changing political ideologies and conceptions of development that
continually reshape how aid is defined, implemented and assessed,
and how, despite a global commitment to the Sustainable Development
Goals, we are at a point where the very notion of aid is being
questioned and its future is uncertain. Each chapter includes case
studies, chapter summaries, discussions, weblinks and further
reading, to help strengthen the reader's understanding. Aid and
Development provides an important resource for students,
development workers and policy makers seeking an understanding of
how aid works.
