Fair Trade

Laura T. Raynolds, Douglas Murray, John Wilkinson

'This edited volume - the first of its kind - is a valuable contribution...The book fills an important niche, pulling together in one place a wealth of detailed data on the rapidly changing political and organizational landscape of the international fair trade movement. It will be valuable to researchers and practitioners working on fair trade and other alternative market initiatives, and would be useful for graduate courses on food systems, globalization, development and other topics in a range of social science disciplines.' - Daniel Jaffee,Agriculture and Human Values, vol 25
