Item type:Publication, Jurisdictional approaches to sustainable agro-commodity governance: The state of knowledge and future research directions(Elsevier B.V., 2024-12-01)The production and trade of primary agro-commodities drive significant land use change, with profound consequences for the planet and people. In a special report on climate change and land, the International Panel on Climate Change (2019) warned that any pathway aimed at limiting global warming to within 2 °C requires reduced carbon emissions and land use change. The destruction of natural ecosystems also carries significant implications for the economic livelihoods and traditional ways of life of the approximately 1.6 billion rural people, including many indigenous communities, who reside in and around forests (Newton et al., 2020). - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The politics of accountability in global sustainable commodity governance: Dilemmas of institutional competition and convergence(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024-11-01)The accountability of market-driven sustainability governance has long been controversial, reflecting the deeply political processes through which accountability contests shape governance transformations. Drawing on illustrative examples from internationally traded agro-commodity sectors in the critical case of Indonesia, this paper examines the contested processes of accountability that have accompanied a recent period of institutional change in sustainability governance. Amidst rising critiques of global certification, there has been a parallel expansion of governance approaches that prioritise capability development over regulatory enforcement and engage more intensively with governments in commodity-producing countries. As alternative governance models gain influence, tensions between competing governance stakeholders and agendas are mirrored and amplified through parallel accountability contests, in which distributional conflicts between global and local stakeholders are intensified by pressures to adopt contentious systems of compliance verification. While accountability gaps associated with contrasting institutional models produce strong pressures for partial institutional convergence, such convergence coexists with new forms of institutional fragmentation, as competition between global and national certification expands to encompass competition with localised capacity-building and jurisdictional approaches. Analysis highlights the often-neglected role of accountability politics in shaping institutional change, while raising pressing questions about the distributional implications of contemporary shifts away from global certification governance models.
