Resisting global toxics: transnational movements for environmental justice

Abstract

sion to the aquaculture case, for example, he suggests that existing nation-statebased forms of regulation "will probably not be able to respond effectively" to health or ecological threats from ªsh farms since "this supply chain of ªsh production and consumption has acquired the character of a global ºow" (p.182).A more nuanced set of evaluative criteria might also offer the analytical tools necessary for a fuller evaluation of the merits and limits of eco-labels, which are endorsed as a promising strategy, based largely on this theoretical distinction.Nonetheless, this engaging study offers an important analysis of the challenges posed by the globalization of food production and consumption, and should therefore be of interest to scholars with interests in global regulatory innovation.
