It covers a broad range of timely contexts, providing a lively, fresh and vibrant read my students will enjoy.' -- Iain Davies, University of Strathclyde, UK 'This broad, interdisciplinary and thought-provoking book tackles an extremely important, complicated and intensively studied topic: responsible and sustainable consumer behaviour. It is provocative and critical, as well as hopeful and constructive, and offers an inspiring agenda for future research. A must-read for academics and practitioners!' -- Patrick De Pelsmacker, University of Antwerp, Belgium 'The Research Handbook on Ethical Consumption draws together an important collection of works, from a multi-disciplinary team of authors. The works provide an overview of ethical consumption in a number of countries and consumption behaviours, thereby giving readers a valuable research source, for better understanding the complexity of the issues surrounding ethical consumption. The works included in the Research Handbook also will stimulate research ideas that can be used to further identify actions that can ensure consumers are effective partners in solving environmental and social issues.
