Liberte, equalite, fraternite: reflections on the growth of Fair Trade and business strategy

摘要

In this Special Issue we selected, from a broad range of submissions, papers that best bring together a range of authors grappling with issues going beyond romantic ideals of why all business is not like those championing Fair Trade. Authors consider the present, past and future of the fair trade project. Many of the papers owe their genesis to the Fair Trade and Marketing Workshop convened at the Inter-Disciplinary Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility at the University of Nottingham in late 2004. Our thanks again to all those who faciltated that project. Thanks also to all reviewers who shared their insights and at times demanded revisions from authors to improve their manuscripts.
