Rethinking Global Value Chains and Corporate Social Responsibility
This innovative book sets out to rethink corporate social responsibility (CSR) in global value chains.
Sustainable Value Chain Management
The way organizations manage their value chain has changed dramatically over the past decade. Today, organizations take account of economic issues, but they also adopt a broader perspective of their purpose including social and environmental issues. Yet despite its global spread, sustainable value chain management remains an uncertain and poorly defined ambition, with few absolutes.

The Changing Coordinates of Trade and Power in Latin America
"The classical coordinates of trade and development in Latin America, which centred on the trade liberation versus protectionism dichotomy, have changed significantly during the past decade. Instead, a complicated cartography of trade regimes and processes of regional integration has emerged. This paper examines the political and economic context and factors that explain this shift, paying particular attention to the failings of orthodox neoliberalism, the so-called turn to the Left via electoral politics, and the rise of non-state actors in influencing the policy process. It also considers the implications of changes in trade and regional integration policy, as well as in power relations, for inclusive development."--Page v.
