About this product
Product Information
The interaction of sustainability governance and global value chains has crucial implications the world over. When it comes to sustainability the last decade has witnessed the birth of hybrid forms of governance where business, civil society and public actors interact at different levels, leading to a focus on concepts of legitimacy within multi-stakeholder initiatives. Based on more than fifteen years of theoretical engagement and field research, Business, Power and Sustainability in a World of Global Value Chains draws from both labor-intensive value chains, such as in the agro-food sector (coffee, wine, fish, biofuels, palm oil), and from capital-intensive value chains such as in shipping and aviation, to discuss how sustainability governance can be best designed, managed and institutionalized in today's world of global value chains (GVCs). Examining current theoretical and analytical efforts aimed at including sustainability issues in GVC governance theory, it expands on recent work examining GVC upgrading by introducing the concept of environmental upgrading; and through new conceptions of orchestration, it provides suggestions for how governments and international organizations can best facilitate the achievement of sustainability goals. Essential reading on the governance of sustainability in the twenty-first century.

Reviews
Since the 1980s, the main question has been how to leverage foreign direct investment and GVC engagement for economic development. Now, with the habitability of the planet in question, this book shifts the lens toward sustainability. Very timely!, 'A profoundly important book that will be required readingnot only for today's practitioners and students, but for the next generation aswell.' Professor of Environmental Governance & Political Science at Yale University 'This book isa well-researched, systematically analysed and neatly presentedexamination of how large firms have captured environmental sustainability tocontrol the world through global value chains. It is a chilling but compulsivereading. It is highly recommended for researchers and students especially thosein production sites - the global south.' Christine Noe, Department of Geography, University of Dar es Salaam 'A great book that all students of GlobalValue Chains and transnational sustainability governance should buy and read.Ponte is an expert and innovator in both fields of study, and successfullysynthesizes insights from both literatures to build a provocative and compellingargument about ongoing and impending transformations in the global economy.' Luc Fransen, Associate Professor of International Relations, University ofAmsterdam. 'Ponte shows not only how sustainabilitymanagement is a key feature of contemporary capitalism, but also why pursuing"just sustainabilities' is so imperative. I strongly recommend the book.'
