Assessing the perspectives of businesses, international organizations, governments, and civil society groups, the authors offer insights gleaned from years of field research in a commodity-dependent country. Commodity Politics presents case studies of sugar, palm oil, cocoa, and the Chad-Cameroon pipeline project. These cases uncover a problematic politics that is much broader than the implications of corporate social responsibility codes for people and the planet, delivering solid rationales for policy-makers and commodity stakeholders to think more deeply about investor-driven approaches to improving environmental, social, and governance conduct. This book trains students and scholars to better recognize political intricacies and consequential flash points.
Immersing its readers in timely debates over the meaning and intent of responsibility, Commodity Politics breaks new ground in the political analysis of development.
Reviews / Votes
"Commodity Politics demonstrates not just how different actors and groups in several African countries and across several industries define responsible development and use of resources in different ways, but clearly explains why this matters. The book's multidimensional understanding of responsibility is a useful heuristic that will be applicable to other regional contexts and industries." Andrea M. Collins, University of WaterlooMore details
