Reviews

"This volume exposes power imbalances that underpin and undermine the efficacy of various private initiatives aimed at regulating human rights abuses in global supply chains. The editors and many authors rightly stress the need to dismantle the current system, which tends to legitimize these asymmetries experienced by workers and affected communities."—Surya Deva, City University of Hong Kong
