The Processes And Practices Of Fair Trade (Routledge Studies In The Modern World Economy)

This book analyzes the factors behind the recent expansion of Fairtrade and questions whether the trust given to the scheme by "ethical" shoppers is warranted. It goes about this assessment by analyzing the claim of ethical shopping and by scrutinizing the specific contribution of the Fairtrade Certification Mark to producer's welfare. This assessment is based on information gathered in a mixture of desk-based research and fieldwork carried out in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Tanzania and South Africa. This book comprises separate chapters written by academics of various backgrounds, who have worked together on Fairtrade, it should however be noted that the authors do not necessarily hold a common set of views in respect to Fairtrade. 9781138808430 1138808431 0 Competition, Unfair NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=mKPvoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
