490 1  Earth system governance 
520    Analysis and case studies of emerging forms of private, 
       public, and hybrid social and environmental governance.The
       effects of globalization on governance are complex and 
       uncertain. As markets integrate, governments have become 
       increasingly hesitant to enforce regulations inside their 
       own jurisdictions. At the same time, multilateralism has 
       proven unsuccessful in coordinating states' responses to 
       global challenges. In this book, Lena Partzsch describes 
       alternatives to multilateralism, offering analyses and 
       case studies of emerging--alternative--forms of private, 
       public, and hybrid social and environmental regulation. In
       doing so, she offers a unique overview of cutting-edge 
       approaches to global governance.After laying the 
       theoretical and empirical foundation of her argument, 
       Partzsch presents three case studies from the countries 
       most affected by these new forms of governance. Drawing on
       primary documents, interviews, and participatory 
       observations, she analyzes cotton supply chains and 
       voluntary (private) cotton certification in Ethiopia; 
       public supply-chain regulation of conflict resources from 
       the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and hybrid 
       governance of palm oil production in Indonesia. Partzsch 
       finds that the new entanglement of public and private 
       regulation fails to address social and environmental 
       considerations in mainstream markets; argues that only in 
       exceptional cases do alternative forms of regulation 
       overcome the power asymmetries between actors in the 
       consuming countries of the Global North and those in the 
       producing countries of the Global South; and concludes 
       that, while the paradigm of free trade fades, we must 
       continue to develop viable alternatives in order to pursue
       collective norms of environmental sustainability and 
       social justice.
