I. Hudson & M. Fridell 
Fair Trade, Sustainability and Social Change 

The authors critically evaluate the fair trade movement’s role in pursuing a more just and environmentally sustainable society. Using fair trade as a case study of the shift toward non-state forms of governance, they focus on its role not only as a regulatory tool, but as a catalyst for broader social and political transformation.
