ReviewsSarosh Kuruvilla provides one of the most comprehensive interrogations yet of private regulation across multiple countries, industries, and regulatory methods in Private Regulation of Labor Standards in Global Supply Chains . This book is excellent in that it not only provides a well-explained background of the problem of private regulation in global supply chains but also builds upon previous research to add texture to arguments., The work of Kuruvilla with his fellow researchers, Private Regulation of Labor Standards in Global Supply Chain s, is both an excellent introduction and a serious study of the issue. Kuruvilla presents the results of analyses and his arguments in an easy-to-read manner while employing sound, uncompromising methodology. His vast knowledge of the relevant literature has made his arguments even more convincing.I believe this excellent study by Kuruvilla should be read widely.

Conclusion
SynopsisPrivate Regulation of Labor Standards in Global Supply Chains examines the effectiveness of corporate social responsibility on improving labor standards in global supply chains. Sarosh Kuruvilla charts the development and effectiveness of corporate codes of conduct to ameliorate "sweatshop" conditions in global supply chains. This form of private voluntary regulation, spearheaded by Nike and Reebok, became necessary given the inability of third world countries to enforce their own laws and the absence of a global regulatory system for labor standards. Although private regulation programs have been adopted by other companies in many different industries, we know relatively little regarding the effectiveness of these programs because companies don't disclose information about their efforts and outcomes in regulating labor conditions in their supply chains. Private Regulation of Labor Standards in Global Supply Chains presents data from companies, multi-stakeholder institutions, and auditing firms in a comprehensive, investigative dive into the world of private voluntary regulation of labor conditions. The picture he paints is wholistic and raw, but it considers several ways in which this private voluntary system can be improved to improve the lives of workers in global supply chains.
