Fisher for the degree of Doctor ofPhilosophy in the Department ofAnthropology to be taken March 2010 Title: NO ALTERNATIVE: PARTICIPATION, INEQUALITY, AND THE MEANINGS OF FAIR TRADE IN NICARAGUA Approved: Dr. Lynn Stephen This dissertation research takes an ethnographic perspective on competing notions of"fairness" in the first vertically-integrated garment production chain in the world that is certified as fair trade. In sharp contrast to the straightforward images ofsocial justice that are so common on the consumer end of fair trade, the dissertation demonstrates that relations of fair trade production, distribution, and consumption are complicated by ideological disjunctures, by different experiences ofwork and labor, by unequal access to capital and political opportunity, by asymmetrical power, and ultimately by disparate concepts of economic justice. Organized as a commodity chain analysis, this dissertation is based on sixteen months ofmulti-sited, ethnographic research in Nicaragua, funded by the National v Science Foundation (NSF), with four separate fair trade organizations: a faith-based NGO from North Carolina called the Center for Sustainable Development, a well-known Michigan-based fair trade retailer called Clean Clothes Organics, and two Nicaraguan producer organizations, including a women's industrial sewing cooperative (The Fair Trade Zone, which is the first worker-owned organization in the world to gain free trade zone customs certification), and an industrial cotton spinning plant called Genesis. The research shows that, from the standpoint ofproduction and distribution, conflicts frequently emerge over the terms, conditions, and meanings of labor, business contracts, extra-contractual relations, participation in decision-making, and the definition of roles. Producers, moreover, often have no alternative but to accept the terms ofmore powerful groups under duress ofpoverty. Theoretically speaking, this dissertation contributes to an understanding of alternative economic formations, including fair trade and cooperatives. In this vein, I argue that the idea of fair trade as an "alternative" to conventional trade is a problematic rhetorical move that tends to obscure the fact that all aspects of trade-production, distribution, and consumption-are not only inherently political, they are also riven with the complications of mediating between disparate cultural meanings, social positionalities, and political, economic, and social inequality. I recommend revisioning the relationship between the economy, the state, and various spheres of society in light of the insights of substantivist economics, feminist political economy, and ethnography.

For making this dissertation a reality, I want to express my sincere appreciation to those who shared their stories, who helped me think through difficult concepts, and who gave me much needed council and direction. I would first like to thank all ofthe cooperative members from The Fair Trade Zone and Genesis cooperatives, without which this dissertation would not exist. Your persistence in the face of so much adversity has been a constant source ofinspiration in my work, and I can only hope to have done justice to the story. I would also like to thank the Center for Sustainable Development and Clean Clothes Organics: your desire to do good by strangers and to dedicate your lives to the ongoing project ofsocial justice is truly a model for living in this world, and I am truly humbled for having the opportunity to work with you. I would also like to thank my committee for their help in making this dissertation a reality and for instilling in me a respect not only for the pursuit ofknowledge but also for working to build ethical relationships in the process. Lynn Stephen deserves a great deal of credit for the example that she has provided for me and for the important course corrections in my development as a scholar. To Aletta Biersack, as well, I owe much IX more than I can ever repay. Your keen insight and the sheer amount oftime and effort that you gave over to me are far more than I deserve. Finally, I would like to thank the National Science Foundation, the Tokyo Foundation, and the Center for the Study ofWomen in Society at the University of Oregon for grant support during the fieldwork portion ofthis dissertation. x Father Oscar Romero wrote: Es una caricatura de amor cuando se quiere apafiar con limosnas 10 que ya se debe porjusticia, apafiar con apariencias de beneficencia cuando se estafallando en la justicia social. El verdadero amor comienza por exigir entre las relaciones de los que se aman 10 justo. It is a caricature oflove to try to cover over with alms what is lacking in justice, to patch over with an appearance ofbenevolence when social justice is missing. True love begins by demanding what is just in the relations ofthose who love. The following is dedicated to the women and men ofThe Fair Trade Zone and Genesis cooperatives, as well as the many people who have dedicated their lives to seeking true justice.

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.

Ellersick March 2009 © 2009 Linda J. Ellersick. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Expanding Fair Trade to Garment Production in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua by LINDA J. ELLERSICK has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Yeong-Hyun Kim Associate Professor of Geography Betsy J. Partyka Director, Latin American Studies Daniel Weiner Executive Director, Center for International Studies 3 ABSTRACT ELLERSICK, LINDA J., M.A., March 2009, Latin American Studies Expanding Fair Trade to Garment Production in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua (120 pp.) Director of Thesis: Yeong-Hyun Kim Despite challenges the movement is having and may continue to have, fair trade has proved itself a viable grassroots alternative to neoliberal free trade for farmers in the Global South and has gained legitimacy in both literature and consumer markets. Producers and consumers are becoming increasingly aware of fair trade as an economic and social alternative. While there exist set standards for fair trade agricultural products, no standards yet exist for fair trade garment manufacturing. Through a case study of COMAMNUVI (Cooperativa Maquiladora Mujeres de Nueva Vida) in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua, this research analyzes the application of fair trade principles to the garment production industry. Claiming to be the first garment production cooperative in the world to operate within both the fair trade and free trade markets, COMAMNUVI has contributed an unprecedented prototype of how fair trade garment production may extend to other communities.

Undoubtedly you have heard the term “Fair Trade.” But what, precisely, does the term mean? Basically fair trade means that producers are paid a fair price for the products they produce. But there’s much more involved than just a good price. Fair trade goods are produced in humane working conditions, and factories are monitored for their compliance to minimum standards. By putting control in the hands of producers, fair trade attempts to address structural inequities in the global economy and promote grassroots development. Key elements of fair trade include: Creating opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers Transparency and accountability Promoting independence Payment of a fair price Decent working conditions Sustainable environmental practices No child labour (adapted from www.levelground.com) * Definition of Fair Trade fits into Grade 7 Social Studies Curriculum 7.3.5 KE-049 When did Fair Trade Begin ? The fair trade movement dates back to the late 1940s when US churches began selling handicrafts made by refugees in Europe after World War II.

  • Timeline ZACH RICHER
    1 Timeline ZACH RICHER As the well over 600 entries in this encyclopedia demonstrate, globalization is a term that encompasses structures, systems, and processes across a broad range of social contexts and academic disciplines. Its popular association with market forces and economic integration belies the manifold ways that populations have become increasingly integrated through political, social, cultural, and technological exchanges. Indeed, the first known usage of globalization (Reiser & Davies 1944) emerged during the final months of World War II as changing coalitions of states sparked fresh debates and innovative visions for the coming new world order. The system of international governance set in motion in the following years did much to increase global integration. It was to be nearly four decades, in an influential article in the Harvard Business Review (Levitt 1983), before the term took on its economistic connotation and achieved wide currency in policy, business, and academic circles. More recent scholarship (Beck 2000; Therborn 2000; Ritzer 2010) has argued that it may be more appropriate to think of globalizations in the plural, stressing the some- times overlapping, sometimes con tradicting flows of people, objects, and information across the globe. Alongside increased connectivity and cooperation, it is now common to emphasize the shared global dangers of climate change, terrorist networks, food insecurity, and health epidemics. Furthermore, many feminists and postcolonial think- ers (Ong 1999; Kim-Puri 2005) argue that the processes of globalization do not affect all regions, nations, peoples, or individuals in the same manner. Rather, global mobili- ties, capabilities, and potentialities are differentially experienced throughout what the geographer Doreen Massey (1993) calls a “power-geometry.” These differing emphases and competing conceptions of globalization suggest that any attempt to describe its chronology would be controversial.
