DOI: 10.1016/j.erss.2020.101479
Abstract: Abstract Although the connection between plastics and fracking may seem obscure, ethane, a gas liquid produced through natural gas fracking, is currently stimulating increases in world plastics production. The result is likely to be an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoforum.2018.01.020
Abstract: Abstract We undertake a critical appraisal of the existence of the so- called 'sweet spot' in ethical trade at which the interests of buyers, suppliers, and workers intersect to enable benefits for commercial buyers and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1712-3
Abstract: Much of the Earth’s biosphere has been appropriated for the production of harvestable biomass in the form of food, fuel and fibre. Here we show that the simplification and intensification of these systems and their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/03050629.2016.1195565
Abstract: ABSTRACT Scholars have long recognized that exchange-rate movements affect different actors within societies in different ways. However, increasingly complex global production chains add complications to longstanding theoretic models of exchange-rate politics. I argue that imported… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jeg/lby065
Abstract: Recent advances in global production network theory, known as GPN 2.0, provide a theoretically sophisticated framework for understanding the articulation of global production systems with regional development trajectories. However, this framework was largely derived from… read more here.
