Fair Trade from the West to the East Fair Trade from the West to the East A literature review on consumer attitudes and beliefs towards Fair Trade products in the United Kingdom and Japan from a cross-cultural perspective. Bachelor’s Thesis Tilburg School of Humanities Tilburg University Michael Vu (SNR: 1266674) University College Tilburg: Liberal Arts and Sciences, Business & Management Major – Class of 2017 Under the supervision of dr. R.B.J.M. Welten, Associate Professor at Tilburg School of Humanities, Department of Philosophy Also read by dr. A.A.C.J. van Oijen, Associate Professor at Tilburg School of Economics and Management, Department of Management # of words: 15,780 Abstract This aim of this thesis is to investigate whether cultures have an effect on ethical consumer behavior in overall through a literature review, by which the attitudes and beliefs of British and Japanese consumers towards Fair Trade products have been analyzed and compared with each other. This is done to identify possible differences that may determine the influence of culture on ethical consumer behavior. Additionally, the argument of globalization has been explained and urged to conduct research on consumer behavior across cultures, which also includes that from an ethical viewpoint. Major concepts of this thesis, which are that of culture, ethical consumption, and Fair Trade respectively, have been further elaborated upon in line with the aim mentioned above. From the findings, it concludes that, despite the limited amount of (academic) literature available, culture does affect the attitudes and beliefs of a consumer, and so, ethical consumer behavior as well. More research is advised to support this conclusion better. Keywords: Fair Trade, consumer behavior, attitudes, beliefs, United Kingdom, Japan, cross- cultural analysis, globalization Acknowledgements On the first hand, I would like to thank prof. Welten for sticking with me until the very end, as well as prof. van Oijen to some extent. Also, I would like to thank my parents, younger brother, friends, relatives, fellow seniors, juniors, academic staff, and other acquaintances for giving me motivation and lending me an ear for this project and other (trivial) topics too. Lastly, I want to thank God for everything so far and for what is to come in my journey as well. ii Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................... ii Table of Contents ...................................................................................................................... iii 1 – Introduction ......................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 – Background .................................................................................................................... 2 1.1.1 – Globalization ............................................................................................................ 4 1.2 – Problem statement & research questions ...................................................................... 6 1.3 – Conceptual model .......................................................................................................... 6 1.4 – Relevance ....................................................................................................................... 8 1.5 – Research design & data collection ................................................................................. 9 1.6 – Structure ...................................................................................................................... 10 2 – Theoretical framework ....................................................................................................... 11 2.1 – Culture .......................................................................................................................... 11 2.2 – Ethical consumption ................................................................................................... 13 2.3 – Fair Trade .................................................................................................................... 16 2.3.1 – Definition .............................................................................................................. 16 2.3.2 – Historical overview ............................................................................................... 18 2.3.3 – Socio-economic analysis....................................................................................... 25 iii 2.3.4 – Criticism ............................................................................................................... 27 3 – Discussion .......................................................................................................................... 31 3.1 – United Kingdom .......................................................................................................... 31 3.2 – Japan ........................................................................................................................... 33 4 – Conclusion ......................................................................................................................... 38 5 – Limitations & further research .......................................................................................... 39 6 – References ......................................................................................................................... 40 7 – Appendices ......................................................................................................................... 51 7.1 – Appendix A .................................................................................................................. 51 7.2 – Appendix B .................................................................................................................. 52 7.3 – Appendix C .................................................................................................................. 53 7.4 – Appendix D .................................................................................................................. 54 7.5 – Appendix E .................................................................................................................. 55 iv 1 – Introduction First and foremost, this paper is written as an assignment for the course ‘Bachelorthesis LAS’ (840900), which is part of the final semester of the study program of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Tilburg University. In this bachelor program, it is possible for students to combine “different scientific disciplines to understand complex global issues and to look for creative solutions” (Tilburg University, 2017). Being that, I have decided to conduct a comparative study on consumer behavior in Japan and the West. The reasons why Japan is selected is that I have been on exchange in Tokyo, which was during the fall semester of 2016. During my stay in Japan, I noticed during grocery shopping after I was done with my classes that the amount of Fair Trade products placed on the shelves is much smaller than my expectations were, especially in comparison to the supermarkets in the Netherlands that I frequent before and after my exchange. This has surprised me to the extent that I was and still am very intrigued by it, as the attitude and beliefs of the Japanese obviously differ from the West, on how they approach and consume consciously. To name a few personal examples of mine are the strong emphasis on and the unexpectedly enormous offering of local products with the motivation to boost their economy by buying them; and the strict recycling laws that I had to obey, as I would be fined if I did not. Despite mentioning these, the concept of Fair Trade is not popular in Japan, going thus against the expectations as stated before. During the process of writing this, the realization occurred to me that people in Western countries do also approach and consume consciously, which made me wonder why I did not have that impression at first of the West in this respect. All in all, it eventually persuaded me to do my bachelor thesis on the need that emerged from globalization to understand other cultures, by zooming in on ethical consumer behavior between the United Kingdom, home to the Fair Trade movement and the biggest consuming market of Fair Trade products, and Japan with a focus on their attitudes and beliefs towards the latter. 1 1.1 – Background People are brought up with certain models and mindsets, which are bound to the culture that we are raised in. These so-called ‘cultural models’ enable us to structure and comprehend what we perceive in today’s societies and communities, as they consist of concepts and procedures that are embedded and traceable in our daily lives and the perception of the latter (Fryberg & Markus, 2007; Fryberg & Rhys, 2007). It gives us the ability to judge something, whether it is an action or a decision, is correct or not (Fryberg & Rhys, 2007). In other words, what we uphold as right or wrong is defined and confined by “the social, historical, and cultural experiences of a society” (Pacquiao, 2001, p.12). Consequently, culture, with its models and experiences, does influence on how we act, decide, and behave in certain situations; and more importantly, how these are done rightfully in our eyes.

It advocates the payment of a higher price to exporters as well as higher social and environmental standards. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine,[2] fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers, and gold.[3] Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect that seek greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers – especially in the South. Fair Trade Organizations, backed by consumers, are engaged actively in supporting producers, awareness raising and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade.[4] There are several recognized Fairtrade certifiers, including Fairtrade International (formerly called FLO/Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International), IMO and Eco-Social.

  • The Case of Fair Trade
    1 Evolution of non-technical standards: The case of Fair Trade Nadine Arnold1 Department of Sociology, University of Lucerne, Switzerland; email: [email protected] 2014 To cite this paper, a final version has been published as: Arnold Nadine (2014) Evolution of non-technical standards: The case of Fair Trade. In Francois-Xavier de Vaujany, Nathalie Mitev, Pierre Laniray and Emanuelle Vaast (Eds.), Materiality and Time. Organizations, Artefacts and Practices. Houndmills: Palgrave Macmillan (pp. 59-78). 2 Evolution of non-technical standards: The case of Fair Trade Nadine Arnold Abstract This contribution suggests examining non-technical standards as artefacts that evolve in accordance with their contextual setting. In the past, organization scholars have increasingly paid attention to standards and standardisation but they tended to ignore material aspects of the phenomenon. An analysis of the Fair Trade standardisation system shows how its underlying rules changed from guiding criteria to escalating standards. Taking an evolutionary perspective I outline four major trends in the written standards and relate them to the history of Fair Trade. Detected modifications were either meant to legitimate the standardisation system through the content of standards or to enable legitimate standardisation practice. Overall the exuberant growth of non-technical standards leads to critical reflections on the future development of Fair Trade and its standards. Introduction Standards are to be found everywhere. Distinct social spheres such as agriculture, education, medicine and sports have become the subject of standardisation. Corresponding standards have evolved without the enforcement of the hierarchical authority of states and they ‘help regulate and calibrate social life by rendering the modern world equivalent across cultures, time, and geography’ (Timmermans and Epstein, 2010, p.

  • Development of Fair Trade Ideas
    Torun Internaonal Studies No. 1 (7) 2014 2019, No. 1 (10), pp. 5–13 Published online August, 2017 DOI: hp://dx.doi.org/10.12775/TIS.2017.001 Adrianna Czarnecka*1 DEVELOPMENT OF FAIR TRADE IDEAS ABSTRACT The topic of the work below is the development of fair trade ideas over the years. By analyz- ing reports, websites, and newspaper reports, I have been able to compare the work of fair trade organizations. The social movement has transformed the activity into fully professional non-governmental organizations. However, the international and international institutions have become increasingly popular. The development of the concept has a significant impact on the quality of life of people in developing countries. Through the promotion of promo- tional and educational campaigns, the awareness of both consumers and small producers who are able to create their own networks increases. Idea Fair Trade turned out to be hope for the fight against poverty, disproportions in the world. Through trade we are able to support developing countries. The emergence of international organizations allows for the control of these processes, as well as the development of concept and control of activities. The aim of the article is to show the proces of developing and giving the idea of fair trade. Keywords: Fair Trade, civic movement, Word shops, WFTO, IFAT, developing countries, education, trade 1. INTRODUCTION Second World War brought the division of the world not only for political but also econom- ic reasons. Economic divisions are even more marked. The international environment has focused on the most deprived countries during the war, but no one has wondered what the consequences must be for the countries and communities buried in poverty before the war.

    CB/5/CRP.1 31 May 2005 Original: ENGLISH ONLY Distr: RESTRICTED CONSULTATIVE BOARD ON THE WORLD COCOA ECONOMY Fifth meeting London, 6 June 2005 FACTS AND FIGURES ON FAIR-TRADE COCOA CB/5/CRP.1 Page 1 FACTS AND FIGURES ON FAIR-TRADE COCOA INTRODUCTION 1. The fair-trade approach presents itself as an alternative strategy, positioned between free trade and protectionism, to address the issue of poverty in developing countries. It also offers an alternative way for consumers to express their opinion through “political consumerism” or “responsible consumerism”. People buying fair-trade products are portrayed as using their consumer choice to voice their concerns about poverty in less developed countries, and about a trading system that is considered as unfavourable to these countries. Focusing on the food commodity market is a natural choice for the fair-trade movement because most developing countries are dependent on these products for export earnings. 2. In 1988, the first fair-trade labelled product (coffee) was launched under the Max Havelaar brand. Since then, fair-trade has been growing at a rapid pace and now covers various products, such as cocoa and chocolate, coffee, bananas, tea, honey products, textiles and handicrafts. Cocoa sold with the fair-trade label captures a very small share of the cocoa market (0.1 percent). However, based on the steady growth of fair-trade and the support of public opinion and governments, some fair-trade participants claim that the idea will move beyond niche markets and become more mainstream. 3. Under Action 9 of its work programme of September 2004, the Consultative Board on the World Economy requested the ICCO secretariat to undertake an analysis of the situation and prospects for fair-trade cocoa and its potential market effects.
