Green transition for whom? Garment production networks and the politics of climate crisis in Bangladesh
研究了孟加拉国服装出口商为应对欧洲环保标准而进行的绿色转型，发现危机政治而非危机本身驱动转型，并复制了生产网络中的权力不平等。
Abstract The global apparel industry faces increasing pressure to enact a ‘green transition’ by adopting sustainability standards around carbon emissions, water use, and waste. This article explores how new environmental regulations affect global production networks (GPNs), focusing on Bangladeshi producers exporting to Europe. Using a multi-scalar ethnographic approach, we demonstrate that the apparel industry’s green transition is profoundly shaped by discourses of environmental and climate ‘crisis,’ but that network actors perceive and experience crisis differently. We argue that the politics of crisis, rather than crisis itself, drives the apparel industry’s green transition, replicating power asymmetries within GPNs and broader capitalist geographies.
