Platforms, Innovation and Capability Development in the Chinese Domestic Market
Markets for Nutrition
Policymakers are increasingly seeking to use food systems to help reduce rates of chronic undernutrition and to use markets to deliver nutrient?rich foods to vulnerable populations. This article examines how this might be achieved, drawing lessons from three intervention types: ready?to?use therapeutic foods (RUTFs), mandatory fortification and voluntarily fortified products. We find that a common set of constraints tends to inhibit markets from …
Understanding the Complexities of Private Standards in Global Agri-Food Chains as They Impact Developing Countries
The increasing prevalence of private standards governing food safety, food quality and environmental and social impacts of agri-food systems has raised concerns about the effects on developing countries, as well as the governance of agri-food value chains more broadly. It is argued that current debates have been 'clouded' by a failure to recognise the diversity of private standards in terms of their institutional form, who develops and adopts the…
The Development of the Physicians' Peace Movements
A brief historical account is given of the development of medical ethics, and of the gradual assumption of medical responsibilities in relation to victims of war. The idea that the medical profession as a whole should be concerned with health problems throughout the world, other than those of their own nationals, is quite recent. Collaboration in this area began with the International Health Organization of the League of Nations, and was greatly …
Are Exporters in Africa Facing Reduced Availability of Trade Finance
One of the widely-predicted consequences of the global financial crisis is a shortage of trade finance that will exacerbate declines in trade volumes. Many commentators and policymakers have predicted such a shortage, and the G20 London Summit committed to substantial increases in trade finance. Should development practitioners be concerned about whether decreasing availability of trade credit will undermine export performance in sub-Saharan Afri…
The supermarket revolution in developing countries
An extensive literature on the transformation of food retailing in developing countries by the expansion of supermarkets has highlighted the implications of the concentration of food value chains for the continued incorporation of small farmers in fresh produce supply. A critical examination of this literature shows that extent of the transformation of retailing, and also of food production as a consequence of it, is overestimated, particularly f…

The governance of global value chains
This article builds a theoretical framework to help explain governance patterns in global value chains. It draws on three streams of literature – transaction costs economics, production networks, and technological capability and firm-level learning – to identify three variables that play a large role in determining how global value chains are governed and change. These are: (1) the complexity of transactions, (2) the ability to codify transaction…
E-commerce for Developing Countries
Development agencies have emphasised the potential of business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce to reduce barriers to entry to global markets for small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries. E-marketplaces would allow firms to buy and sell online, reaching customers across the world at low cost. A study of B2B e-marketplaces and the use of the internet by developing country firms shows a different picture. There is little evidence that…
The Clean Development Mechanism
Changing Governance Patterns in the Trade in Fresh Vegetables between Africa and the United Kingdom
Over the past twenty years the marketing of African fresh vegetables in the United Kingdom has become dominated by large retailers that have adopted competitive strategies based on quality, year-round supply, and product differentiation. This has led to a dramatic change in marketing channels, from wholesale markets to tightly knit supply chains. Global value chain analysis is used to explain why the various stages of production and marketing hav…
How does insertion in global value chains affect upgrading in industrial clusters

What is the scope for local upgrading strategies where producers operate in global value chains? The literature on industrial clusters emphasizes the role of inter-firm co-operation and local institutions in enabling upgrading. The value chain literature focuses on the role of global buyers and chain go…

Introduction
Globalisation has become a catchword for the international economy at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The increasing importance of export-oriented industrialisation has made integration into the global economy virtually synonymous with development for a number of nations. However, there is an acute awareness that the gains from globalisation are very unevenly distributed within as well as between societies. A growing body of work analy…
Trust and inter‐firm relations in developing and transition economies
The role of trust in facilitating economic growth has been highlighted in previous contributions to this journal. In order to take this debate forward, this article argues (1) that more attention needs to be given to the relationship between sanctions and trust, and (2) that it is worth distinguishing between the minimal trust for making markets effective and the extended trust required for deeper kinds of inter‐firm co‐operation to work. The art…

Responses to recession and restructuring
It is often argued that during recession women and children are put into the labour market in order to maintain household incomes. They are forced into low‐paid jobs in the informal sector. Evidence from Sao Paulo suggests a different picture. During recession young people withdrew from the labour market. Adult female participation rates did increase, but more slowly than the long‐term trend. Women's entry into the labour market during recession …

Auto Workers and the Working Class in Brazil
INTRODUCTION In May 1978 a series of stoppages occurred in the auto industry in Brazil, which is concentrated in the southern industrial belt of Sao Paulo. After a decade in which the semblance of industrial peace had been guaranteed by a combination of legal controls over the trade unions, repression of rank-andfile organizations in the plants, and strict control over political opposition to the military government, the working class once again …
The United Nations Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities
The United Nations Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities has an interest which is belied by its subordinate position in the international hierarchy. Apart from the intrinsic interest of the work in which it is engaged—work at the very heart of some of the most hotly debated issues in the United Nations—the Sub-Commission, because of the manner of its composition, possesses certain characteristics whic…
Are the Unemployed Part of the Urban Poverty Problem in Latin America
For a long period, the consensus in development studies argued that the unemployed in urban areas were not part of the poverty problem. It was argued in the 1970s that open unemployment in developing countries was not, in general, a serious social problem. This was not because rates of open unemployment were low in urban areas - Turnham cited open unemployment rates in urban areas of over ten per cent for countries as diverse as Ghana, Guyana, Pa…
Crise économique et emploi des femmes
Helena Hirata et John Humphrey The economic crisis and the employment of women. A case study in Brazilian industry. The theories on the industrial reserve army and the segmentation of the labor market have been unsettled by the fact that women have continued to work in spite of the economic recession and unemployment. The main points of view on the differential effects of the crisis on employment according to sex are considered in light of the re…

International Protection of Human Rights
IT WOULD be possible for me to make a dissertation on the attempts that have been made throughout history to provide international protection for human rights and to show how these attempts have culminated in the machinery now provided by the United Nations Charter. Such a dissertation would outline mankind's quest for a higher law, for some criteria higher than the law of the state. Philosophers and jurists throughout the ages have attempted to …

On the Foundations of International Law
Since the collapse of the European system of the Middle Ages and the birth of modem international law most jurists have worked on the assumption that the principles underlying the international legal order are radically different from those that lie at the base of national law. With the disintegration of the authority of the Pope and the Emperor there had come into being a number of independent states that recognized no political superior and hen…

It calls at the very least for a re-examination of the principles that underlie the new international organization for the maintenance of peace and security. It is no exaggerat'on to suggest that the United Nations Charter has already become the instrument of another age. The American sergeant who dropped the first atomic bomb heralded the advent of a new era in international re

Susan Cunningham's use of the data from the Relagdo Annual de Informa9oes Sociais provides a good example of the potentialities opened up to researchers by the expansion of statistical sources in Brazil in the past decade. Although some reservations about the reliability of the RAIS data need to be stated, there is no doubt that it represents a considerable advance on previously available labour-force statistics. This is above all the case with r…
