As markets integrate, governments have become increasingly hesitant to enforce regulations inside their own jurisdictions. At the same time, multilateralism has proven unsuccessful in coordinating states' responses to global challenges. In this book, Lena Partzsch describes alternatives to multilateralism, offering analyses and case studies of emerging--alternative--forms of private, public, and hybrid social and environmental regulation. In doing so, she offers a unique overview of cutting-edge approaches to global governance.After laying the theoretical and empirical foundation of her argument, Partzsch presents three case studies from the countries most affected by these new forms of governance. Drawing on primary documents, interviews, and participatory observations, she analyzes cotton supply chains and voluntary (private) cotton certification in Ethiopia; public supply-chain regulation of conflict resources from the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and hybrid governance of palm oil production in Indonesia. Partzsch finds that the new entanglement of public and private regulation fails to address social and environmental considerations in mainstream markets; argues that only in exceptional cases do alternative forms of regulation overcome the power asymmetries between actors in the consuming countries of the Global North and those in the producing countries of the Global South; and concludes that, while the paradigm of free trade fades, we must continue to develop viable alternatives in order to pursue collective norms of environmental sustainability and social justice. 001412190 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001412190 650_0 $$aBusiness logistics$$xStandards$$vCase studies. 001412190 650_0 $$aBusiness logistics$$xGovernment policy$$vCase studies. 001412190 650_0 $$aSocial responsibility of business$$vCase studies. 001412190 650_0 $$aTrade regulation$$vCase studies. 001412190 650_0 $$aGlobalization$$xEconomic aspects. 001412190 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001412190 852__ $$bebk 001412190 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/12610.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001412190 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001412190 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1412190$$pGLOBAL_SET 001412190 980__ $$aBIB 001412190 980__ $$aEBOOK 001412190 982__ $$aEbook 001412190 983__ $$aOnline
