“…dado que imputam os custos relacionados ao monitoramento aos que compõem a cadeia de fornecimento, enquanto os benefícios acumulados permanecem nas empresas compradoras(AULD;RENCKENS;CASHORE, 2015). A longo prazo tendem a se acomodar em vez de desafiar os interesses dos detentores de poder(MACDONALD, 2020). Este tipo é muito comum em iniciativas de única parte.As iniciativas de múltiplos atores são exemplos de novas estruturas de governança que incluem diversas partes interessadas com o objetivo de construir uma rede de reguladores ao longo das cadeias de suprimentos globais(BOSTRÖM et al, 2015).…”

O acesso à Pós-Graduação no Brasil ainda é um privilégio de classe, raça e gênero. A ocupação destes espaços por mulheres-mães só foi conseguida pela luta das que vieram antes.Deste modo, deixo meu agradecimento para aquelas que lutaram bravamente pelo acesso à pósgraduação, para todas que se organizaram e conquistaram o direito de adicionarmos a Licença Maternidade no Currículo Lattes e para toda a rede de suporte e apoio que é necessário para que mulheres-mães consigam se dedicar à pesquisa.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international NGO promoting sustainable forest management by setting standards and certifying timber as eco‐friendly. After facing significant resistance from the Chilean forestry sector, which is plagued by environmental and territorial conflicts, FSC began certifying Chile's main forestry corporations in 2010. This article examines the implementation of FSC's standards by addressing two questions. First, how does FSC function in practice, including the roles of consultants, chambers, and instruments in the certification process? Second, what are the scope and limitations of FSC in achieving sustainable development and managing forestry industry conflicts? Elaborating on 24 interviews with key forestry stakeholders, ethnographic fieldwork, and documentary analysis, the findings indicate that FSC enhances management practices in the forestry industry by promoting legal compliance, rational production management, and improved relations between firms and local communities. FSC provides a green imaginary that ‘cleans up’ timber production as conflict‐free, facilitating its free circulation in the international market. However, as a private governance system, FSC is based on an artificial consensus that has limitations such as power imbalances between firms and communities, limited sanctioning power, and close ties with large industry actors. This neoliberal form of governance fails to resolve structural problems between industry and indigenous communities, yet it creates strategic opportunities for mediating the relationships between actors. In Chile, FSC enables incomplete citizenship for communities and serves as a ‘soft regulation’ for firms, reducing the likelihood of increased State regulation in the forestry sector.

The politics of accountability in global sustainable commodity governance: Dilemmas of institutional competition and convergence

The accountability of market‐driven sustainability governance has long been controversial, reflecting the deeply political processes through which accountability contests shape governance transformations. Drawing on illustrative examples from internationally traded agro‐commodity sectors in the critical case of Indonesia, this paper examines the contested processes of accountability that have accompanied a recent period of institutional change in sustainability governance. Amidst rising critiques of global certification, there has been a parallel expansion of governance approaches that prioritise capability development over regulatory enforcement and engage more intensively with governments in commodity‐producing countries. As alternative governance models gain influence, tensions between competing governance stakeholders and agendas are mirrored and amplified through parallel accountability contests, in which distributional conflicts between global and local stakeholders are intensified by pressures to adopt contentious systems of compliance verification. While accountability gaps associated with contrasting institutional models produce strong pressures for partial institutional convergence, such convergence coexists with new forms of institutional fragmentation, as competition between global and national certification expands to encompass competition with localised capacity‐building and jurisdictional approaches. Analysis highlights the often‐neglected role of accountability politics in shaping institutional change, while raising pressing questions about the distributional implications of contemporary shifts away from global certification governance models.
