Rezensionen

"In a field dominated by empirical studies, it is exciting to see this book developing economic theory to explore not only the internal dynamics of Fair Trade in practice, but also its wider contribution to a more sustainable global economy." Anne Tallontire, Professor of Sustainability and Business and host of the 2023 Fair Trade International Symposium



"For too long, Fair Trade has been looked at as just a principle. It is also a market and this book analyzes the historical developments of this market. Furthermore it presents three scenarios for its future development and it depends on the market actors which scenario will become prevalent. Therefore, this book is a must read for everyone involved in Fair Trade practices." Andre Nijhof, Professor Sustainable Business and Stewardship, Nyenrode Business Universiteit

"A must in the library of teachers of business and international trade." Julia Pérez Bravo, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro
