(Breitbart.com: Business Wire, 29 November 2010)"Based on original research and innovative thinking, this profoundand insightful book challenges conventional thinking about 'ethicalconsumption.' Approaching the subject as a distinctive form ofpolitical mobilisation, Globalizing Responsibility shows howour everyday consumption practices are related to wider narrativesof social justice and collective responsibility." --Peter Jackson, University of Sheffield "By viewing ethical consumption patterns as a politicalphenomenon, the authors deliver a far deeper understanding of thisgrowing movement than a whole raft of marketing and businessliterature which has gone before." --Rob Harrison, Ethical Consumer Magazine
