Book Description
Nico Roozen et Frans van der Hoff sont à l'origine d'une des initiatives les plus novatrices du monde économique. Ce livre raconte leur histoire, leur combat et par là même l'histoire du développement du commerce équitable. En 1986, dans la gare d'Utrecht, les deux hommes se ren-contrent et élaborent le principe général de leur idée : bâtir entre les pays pauvres et les pays riches un nouvel échange marchand fondé sur une rémunération plus juste, plus «équitable», des producteurs de matières premières. Le label «Max Havelaar», du nom d'un célèbre héros de la littérature hollandaise, est né. Au Mexique, Frans van der Hoff va se battre pour obtenir la confiance de petits cultivateurs trop longtemps exploités et surtout contre les mafias locales qui vont tout tenter pour le briser. En Europe, Nico Roozen va lutter pied à pied pour contrer le scepticisme des industriels. Et aujourd'hui, plus de cinq millions de personnes, de multiples coopératives agricoles de thé, de café, de cacao... bénéficient des retombées du commerce équitable ; le label Max Havelaar est implanté dans près de cinquante pays. A l'heure du débat sur la mondialisation, le concept Max Havelaar ouvre de nouvelles perspectives. Frans van der Hoff est issu d'une famille de fermiers catholiques de quinze enfants. Missionnaire, il prend conscience de la situation des producteurs de café du Chili et du Mexique. Nico Roozen est économiste de formation. Ils sont tous deux hollandais.

Book Description
In recent decades, claims have increasingly been made on transnational corporations to take responsibility for the promotion and protection of human and labour rights in countries where they operate. This behavioural obligation results from the persistent advocacy of non-governmental organizations and is commonly known as corporate social responsibility (CSR). Driven by the theory of the 'norm life cycle model', the book uses an interesting range of case studies, including Nike and the anti-apartheid movement, to trace the development of CSR as an international norm. The development is examined through five selected non-governmental organizations: Clean Clothes Campaign, Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International, Global Exchange, International Business Leaders Forum and the International Labor Rights Fund. The book makes a lucid contribution to an emerging scholarship, and will interest researchers and practitioners involved in issues of global governance and global civil society.

Book Description
This critical account of the fair trade movement explores the vast gap between the rhetoric of fair trade and its practical results for poor countries, particularly those of Africa. In the Global North, fair trade often is described as a revolutionary tool for transforming the lives of millions across the globe. The growth in sales for fair trade products has been dramatic in recent years, but most of the benefit has accrued to the already wealthy merchandisers at the top of the value chain rather than to the poor producers at the bottom. Ndongo Sylla has worked for Fairtrade International and offers an insider’s view of how fair trade improves—or doesn’t—the lot of the world’s poorest. His methodological framework first describes the hypotheses on which the fair trade movement is grounded before going on to examine critically the claims made by its proponents. By distinguishing local impact from global impact, Sylla exposes the inequity built into the system and the resulting misallocation of the fair trade premium paid by consumers. The Fair Trade Scandal is an empirically based critique of both fair trade and traditional free trade; it is the more important for exploring the problems of both from the perspective of the peoples of the Global South, the ostensible beneficiaries of the fair trade system.

Book Description
At a time when social and political reality seems to move away from the practice of cosmopolitanism, whilst being in serious need of a new international framework to regulate global interaction, what are the new definitions and practices of cosmopolitanism? Including contributions from leading figures across the humanities and social sciences, After Cosmopolitanism takes up this question as its central challenge. Its core argument is the idea that our globalised condition forms the heart of contemporary cosmopolitan claims, which do not refer to a transcendental ideal, but are rather immanent to the material conditions of global interdependence. But to what extent do emerging definitions of cosmopolitanism contribute to new representative democratic models of governance? The present volume argues that a radical transformation of cosmopolitanism is already ongoing and that more effort is needed to take stock of transformations which are both necessary and possible. To this end, After Cosmopolitanism calls for an understanding of cosmopolitanism that is more attentive to the material reality of our social and political situation and less focused on linguistic analyses of its metaphorical implications. It is the call for a cosmopolitanism that is also a cosmopolitics.
