The diffusion of global sustainability standards: an ex-ante assessment of the institutional fit of the ASC-shrimp standard in Indonesia

Private sustainability standards (PSS) constitute a significant global governance policy instrument to regulate supply chains. A key outstanding issue in the study of PSS concerns their effectiveness. This workshop will focus on analysing the effectiveness of PSS from a multi-disciplinary perspective with a specific focus on the governance of food, labour and natural resources. The workshop will bring together leading scholars from Europe to present state of the art research. In follow up of the workshop a book publication will be pursued as well as applications for follow research.
