La deuxième partie porte sur le concept de décroissance, son histoire, ses fondements théoriques et ses controverses.

Valladolid, Ciudad por el Comercio Justo
AGUADO TORINOS, Beatrice - Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Grado en Geografía y Ordenación del Territorio, Universidad de Valladolid, 2019, 85 p. - Site de uvadoc.uva.es
Resumen : “Sin duda, el intercambio de mercancías constituye una de las actividades más importantes a escala mundial. Sin embargo, no todos los países juegan el mismo papel en el mundo globalizado y fuertemente consumista en el que vivimos, habiendo fuertes contrastes entre el Norte y el Sur. Los países en desarrollo, con rentas muy bajas, aglutinan el 40% de la población mundial y sin embargo, su comercio representa menos del 3% del comercio global. El 10% más rico del planeta exporta 125 veces más que el 10% más pobre. En este marco surge el Comercio Justo, intentando suavizar esas desigualdades y diferencias, garantizando a los consumidores que los productos que adquieren han sido generados bajo condiciones laborales dignas y con un salario adecuado que permite a los pequeños productores salir adelante.”

The Managers’ Opinions in a Competitive World : The Case of Coffee and BRFair in Brazil
International Journal of Research in Commerce and Management Studies, 2021, 18 p. – Site scholar.google.fr
Abstract : “Mutual respect, recognition and trust represent the founding stones for any cooperation among human beings and agricultural organizations make no distinction. For the first time, this research has investigated the reciprocal opinions of the managers of 22 coffee cooperatives, all members of BRFair, the umbrella association, that should cooperate for the enhancement of the growth of the Fair-Trade (FT) movement in Brazil. Through direct visits, telephonic conversation and skype talks, qualitative information and data were collected from 19 cooperatives, whereas the managers of three cooperatives have decided to not cooperate. The data reveal a large heterogeneity, in terms of number of members, areas with coffee, output, years of experience, and share of FT coffee with respect to total output. In some cases, the FT certification is only one of the strategies for diversifying the final market, whereas for some other respondents the FT certification has been a strategic decision. Three cooperatives emerge as leading the path for the promotion of the FT concept and for further diffusion of the organic methods, whereas many respondents admit a relatively scarce involvement in FT, organic and BRFair activities. Through a cluster analysis, three groups were identified : “Young, medium size and not very active”, “Medium age, small size and mildly prepositive”, and “Historical, large size and convinced”. Thanks to this research, the self-consciousness of the BRFair members has increased and several activities have been planned for improving the participation and performances of the laggards.”

Fair Trade : Product Differentiation and Warm Glow Effect
STRELCHENKO, Olga ; ABE, Kenzo - Osaka University Graduate School of Economics, Chuo University Faculty of Economics, 2020, 33 p. - Site de jsie.jp
Abstract : “Fair Trade (FT) exists if a consumer in the developed country distinguishes between the FT and non-FT goods and warm glow effect is sufficiently high. FT is always beneficial for its direct participants and it can also be favorable even for non-FT producers and non-FT firms. Warm glow positively affects the FT producers’ wage and the welfare of the developing country, but it has no impact on the welfare of the developed country. Under FT, the welfare of the developing country increases, and the welfare of the developed country under FT can get higher if product differentiation is sufficiently close to perfect.”
