As the international community calls for more responsible environmental, social, and governance performance, the politics of commodities becomes more fraught. Commodity Politics cuts through responsibility rhetoric and presents research from Cameroon to provide a better understanding of the political complexity surrounding commodity production and trade today.

Whether we are out on the streets or between the sheets, cotton is our constant companion. But behind this ubiquitous fibre prized for its softness lies a darker story of exploitation and hardship.

This book traces the historic relationships between cotton production, the international cotton trade and poverty south of the Sahara, and assesses various approaches to corporate social responsibility and nongovernmental policy advocacy in this area.
