Reviews
"Since the 1980s, the main question has been how to leverage foreign direct investment and GVC engagement for economic development. Now, with the habitability of the planet in question, this book shifts the lens toward sustainability. Very timely! * Timothy J. Sturgeon, Ph.D. Senior Researcher, MIT Industrial Performance Center (IPC) * A profoundly important book that will be required reading not only for today’s practitioners and students, but for the next generation as well. * Benjamin Cashore, Professor of Environmental Governance & Political Science at Yale University * A great book that all students of Global Value Chains and transnational sustainability governance should buy and read. Ponte is an expert and innovator in both fields of study, and successfully synthesizes insights from both literatures to build a provocative and compelling argument about ongoing and impending transformations in the global economy. * Luc Fransen, Associate Professor of International Relations, University of Amsterdam. * Ponte shows not only how sustainability management is a key feature of contemporary capitalism, but also why pursuing ""just sustainabilities’ is so imperative. I strongly recommend the book. * Professor Peter Newell, University of Sussex, author of Globalization and the Environment and Global Green Politics. *"
'In the face of an ever growing range of threats to our planet, businesses are under pressure to green their corporate strategies. Building on 15 years of empirical research across different sectors and regions and informed by a multi-disciplinary theoretical approach, Ponte shows not only how sustainability management is a key feature of contemporary capitalism, but also why pursuing `just sustainabilities' is so imperative. I strongly recommend the book.'Professor Peter Newell, University of Sussex, author of Globalization and the Environment and Global Green Politics.
