Titel The Coffee Paradox . Global Markets, Commoditiy Trade and Elusive Promise of Development.
Auteur(s) Daviron, Benoit; Ponte, Stefano
Uitgever(s) London, New York, 2005, 294 p.
Samenvatting Can developing countries trade their way out of poverty? International trade has grown dramatically in the last two decades in the global economy, and trade has an important source of revenue in developing countries. Yet, many low-income countries has been producing and exporting tropical commodities for a long time. They still are poor. Through the study of coffee, analysing the coexistance of a 'coffee boom' in consuming countries and a 'coffee crisis' in the producing countries, the authors recast the 'development problme' for countries relying on commodity exports.

Titel Globalization: Tame It Or Scrap It? Mapping The Alternatives of the Anti-globalization Movement
Auteur(s) Buckman, Greg
Uitgever(s) London, New York, Zed Books, 2004, 229 p., ISBN 1-84277-381-x
Samenvatting Buckman argues that economic globalization has never been an inevitable part of human history. On the contrary, there are alternatives. He shows there are two board policy approaches within the anti-globalization movement. One he calls' the Fair Trade/Back-to-Bretton-Woods school', a moderate school that argues for immediate reform of the world's trading system, capital markets and global institutions. The other school is taking a more radical root-and-branch position and argues for the abolition of international institutions as the World Bank, IMF and WTO, and an outright winding back of economic globalization.

Titel Coffee. A dark history.
Auteur(s) Wild, Antony
Uitgever(s) London, new York, Fourth Estate, 2004, 323 p., ISBN 1-84115-649-3
Samenvatting The coffee industry is the world's largest employer. Over a hundred million people look to coffee for their livelihood, and it is the lifeblood of many third-world countries, either earning them invaluable foreign currency or enslaving them to global capitalism, depending on your point of view. From obscure beginnings in East Africa in the 15th century and its early days as an aid to religious devotion, coffee became an imperial commodity, produced by poor countires- mainly colonies of European powers- and consumed by the temperate ones. At the same time, the influence of coffee itself on the rise of capitalism and its institutions has been enormous.
Titel The Atlas of Food. Who Eats What, Where and Why.
Auteur(s) Millstone, Erik; Lang, Tim
Uitgever(s) Brighton, Earthscan, 2003, 128 p., ISBN 1-85383-965-5
Samenvatting Food is vital for our health and welfare, and its production critically affects the environment as well as the wealth of nations. Despite a rapid increase in trade, hundreds of millions of peoples remain hungry, while chronic obesity is increasing worldwide. Much of the grain that could amply feed the world's population is fed instead to cattle to satisfy the rich world's appetite for meat. New technologies, such as GM crops, promise to increase food production, but are they completely safe? How do markets work, and whose vested interestes are at stake? What are the impacts of different forms of farming, processing, transportation, retailing and changing eating habits? Vividly presented through the creative use of map and graphics, this atlas provides clear and comprhensive aacounts on the world food chain.
