Understanding the Complexities of Private Standards in Global Agri-Food Chains as They Impact Developing Countries
分析了私人标准在食品安全、质量及环境社会影响方面的多样性，指出当前争论忽视了其制度形式、制定者和采纳动机的差异，并强调公共法规与私人标准的紧密互动关系。
The increasing prevalence of private standards governing food safety, food quality and environmental and social impacts of agri-food systems has raised concerns about the effects on developing countries, as well as the governance of agri-food value chains more broadly. It is argued that current debates have been 'clouded' by a failure to recognise the diversity of private standards in terms of their institutional form, who develops and adopts these standards and why. In particular, there is a need to appreciate the close inter-relationships between public regulations and private standards and the continuing ways in which private standards evolve.
