Global Commodity Chains and Negative Externalities
GLOBAL COMMODITY CHAINS & NEGATIVE EXTERNALITIES
The worldwide network of social relations and labor activities involved in the creation, distribution, consumption, and disposal of a commodity (as defined in Appadurai, p. 3)
o Social relations: labor, capitalists, nation-states, and consumers; society/nature
o Labor activities: product design and financing; capture/extraction/cultivation of raw materials; processing; transportation; distribution/sale; purchase/consumption; and disposal
o Impacts: socioeconomic, political, environmental
o Questions
? Culture of capitalism/global commodity chains
? Karl Polanyis Paradox (as defined in GPCC)
? Negative externalities
? Internalizing negative externalities
o Example: The coffee commodity chainis the linked sequence of activities involved in growing coffee, processing it, shipping it, roasting it, selling it to consumers (John Talbot) and disposing it.
