Security of Supply - vulnerability and weapon

The Geopolitics of Value Chains

Palgrave Studies in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Existing literature on textile supply chains has highlighted the importance of adopting sustainable practices in their operational activities, identifying institutional pressures and digital transformation as the main drivers of sustainable change. However, supply chains should be studied as relational networks capable of involving a multitude of actors. Sustainable outcomes, therefore, depend on the collaborative efforts within a network of interdependent firms. This book conceptualizes the supply chain as a network of relationships, shifting the focus from the individual to the collective. Achieving sustainable changes in the textile industry becomes the responsibility of an entire supply chain, involving multinational corporations, manufacturers, suppliers, and subcontractors.
To reconceptualize the supply chain as a relational network, this book adopts a theoretical approach rooted in relational sociology, which centers its analysis on social relationships rather than isolated individuals or social structures. The Prato textile district in Italy, the largest textile hub in Europe, provides the basis for the empirical study. The book will be of great interest to scholars and students of supply chain management, sustainability, the fashion industry and relational sociology.

Evidence From the Prato Textile District

Rethinking Sustainable Supply Chain through Relational Learning

The neglect of maritime governance by governments, institutions and the industry itself has been nothing short of remarkable. For a sector that is characterised by widespread corruption, inefficiency and excessive environmental pollution, injury and death, the inadequacies of the current structure of control, policy and administration, which have persisted throughout its development over many years whilst increasingly recognised, has resulted in little progress or improvement. This book provides a detailed yet concise and succinct interpretation of what constitutes maritime governance and its significance for the success, operation and influence of the sector.
The major drivers, their impact and how they inter-relate, are identified and the whole process is placed within the context of globalisation, a major factor within the shipping and ports industry. A framework for analysing maritime governance structures is put forward centred around jurisdiction, objectives, instruments and agencies. The issue of maritime governance is then examined from an international policy perspective and how this differs from domestic agendas. Conclusions are drawn on the future for maritime governance, how the current situation can be improved and the remaining problems considered. The book will be of great interest to scholars and students of maritime governance, as well as practitioners seeking a scholarly overview of the topic.
Michael Roe holds the Chair of Maritime and Logistics Governance at the University of Plymouth, UK. He previously worked with the Greater London Council and the Universities of Aston, Coventry, London Metropolitan and the University of London (City). The author of over 70 refereed journal papers and 16 books, he specialises in Eastern European maritime policy and the wider governance of maritime affairs.

Understanding the Supply Chain

The Handbook of Logistics and Distribution Management

An eye-opening account of how the data-center boom is pushing our planet past its breaking point Underlying our seamless access to AI, cryptocurrency, and unlimited cloud storage is a hulking, costly physical infrastructure. Massive data centers full of energy-hungry chips and processors power everything we do online. Scrambling to meet dubious market demand, the tech giants have made our planet a bargaining chip in the next great race for a market monopoly. In Hyperscale, journalist Paris Marx uncovers the excesses of hyperscale data processing. He exposes the deceptive, exploitative ways tech companies are syphoning energy and resources from vulnerable communities in their pursuit of digital power, abandoning the pretense of social responsibility. Amid energy shortages and tech-induced battles over drinking water, Marx makes a powerful case for technology that promotes the social good over the bottom lines of tech billionaires. He joins the incredible efforts of people and social movements pushing back against the profit-driven interests of Big Tech, illuminating a path toward the sustainable future we all deserve. The AI boom and its infrastructural demands have accelerated our many modern catastrophes. With razor-sharp reporting and incisive analysis, Marx shows us that the greatest threat is not the specter of AI overlords but a global environmental disaster already in the making.

Building Responsible and Resilient Supply Chains

Sustainable Supply Chain Transformation

In recent years, the de facto head of the House of Saud, Mohammed bin Salman, has promoted the oil-rich kingdom as an open, liberalizing nation that has invested in culture, tourism, and social innovation to become a beacon for the region. Malise Ruthven, a leading commentator on Islamic affairs, reveals the historical currents beneath these changes: how the royal house co-opted Wahhabism to consolidate its power and enforce authoritarianism in collusion with Western businesses and governments.

The Che Guevara Library

En una carta a su madre en 1954, un joven Ernesto Guevara escribió: "Las Américas serán el teatro de mis aventuras de una manera mucho más significativa de lo que yo hubiera creído". En America Latina se&nbsp;narra la historia de esas aventuras, trazando la evolución del Che desde el joven e impresionable estudiante de medicina al "guerrillero heroico", asesinado a sangre fría en Bolivia. A lo largo de diecisiete años, esta antología se nutre de los archivos personales de su familia y ofrece lo mejor de los escritos del Che: ejemplos de su periodismo, ensayos, discursos, cartas e incluso poemas. A medida que el Che documenta sus primeros viajes por América Latina, su participación en las revoluciones guatemalteca y cubana, y su ascenso a la prominencia internacional bajo el mando de Fidel Castro, vemos cómo su ferviente compromiso con la justicia social moldeó y fue moldeado por el continente al que llamó hogar. Casi la mitad de este libro se publica por primera vez y es anterior a la llegada del Che a Cuba con la expedición guerrillera de Fidel Castro en 1956. También se incluyen sus notas para su libro inacabado, The Social Role of Doctors in Latin America.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This volume focuses on food supply chains (FSCs), a vital component of the food system, establishing that integrated cold chain logistics (CCL) are essential for modernising FSCs of perishable commodities in low and middle income countries (LMICs). It argues that the future development of CCL should be envisioned not merely as a means to reduce food loss and waste to meet Target 12.3 of SDG12, but as an infrastructural service with the potential to enable a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive transformation of FSCs in LMICs. Towards this, the volume examines integrated CCL through its connections to: (a) cooling infrastructure as a developmental necessity rather than a luxury; (b) a critical component of food system transformation for both climate mitigation and adaptation; (c) reliable access to safe, nutritious, affordable food, thereby enhancing food and nutrition security; and (d) expanded agribusiness and livelihood opportunities by strengthening the farm-to-market link. This comprehensive approach broadens the discourse on CCL beyond engineering and management perspectives; promotes the integration of the three pillars of sustainability - economic, environmental, and social; and supports climate adaptation to foster climate-resilient and inclusive rural transformation in LMICs. 
Framed within a global context to capture evolving market dynamics, technological innovations, and emerging trends, the book offers an in-depth examination of the challenges and developmental aspects of CCL. It explores the nexus between integrated CCL and sustainable development. It presents a comprehensive 10S Dimensions-based analytical framework that emphasizes value integration and multidimensional policy coherence to support context-specific, evidence-based policymaking in LMICs, while drawing insights from high-income countries. The volume also highlights the role of policy instruments in incentivizing food loss abatement and contributes to the growing scholarship on food loss modelling by treating abatement levels as endogenous variables in agent-level decision-making across food supply chains. It enriches the discourse on CCL development from an LMIC perspective through an analysis of India’s historical trajectory, public policy evolution, persistent gaps, and investment patterns. A detailed assessment of organized cold chain operations in India introduces a country-specific performance framework, capturing indicators such as productivity, energy intensity, profitability, and risk, aimed at improving governance and informing national policy. Finally, the volume advocates reimagining investment strategies in light of disruptive trends in infrastructure, urging a renewed, long-term orientation to support systemic transformation amid the dual crises of climate change and the COVID-19 aftermath.
Intended for post-harvest experts, industry practitioners, scholars, researchers, and policy¿makers, this volume guides critical, policy-oriented analysis of CCL development, aligning it with SDGs, climate resilience, public health, and food system transformation.&nbsp;
“This volume, Integrated Cold Chain Logistics for Food Supply Chains, offers insights. Drawing on interdisciplinary research and grounded in the realities of LMICs, the authors present a compelling case for why cold chains matter, what needs to change, and how to do it sustainably and inclusively. In doing so, they position cooling not as a luxury, but as an essential sustainable development investment for equitable and nutritious food access in a warming world.”

A Sustainable Development Perspective

Integrated Cold Chain Logistics for Food Supply Chains

A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of revolutionary socialist thought. But she was much more than just a thinker. She made herself heard in a world inimical to the voices of strong-willed women. She overcame physical infirmity and the prejudice she faced as a Jew to become an active revolutionary whose philosophy enriched every corner of an incredibly productive and creative life—her many friendships, her sexual intimacies, and her love of science, nature and art. Always opposed to the First World War, when others on the German left were swept up on a tide of nationalism, she was imprisoned and murdered in 1919 fighting for a revolution she knew to be doomed. In this beautifully drawn work of graphic biography, writer and artist Kate Evans has opened up her subject’s intellectual world to a new audience, grounding Luxemburg’s ideas in the realities of an inspirational and deeply affecting life.

This open access book provides a Mediterranean perspective on digital societies, focusing on core issues such as cultural heritage, tourism, smart city development, migration, humanitarian action management, maritime security, health data sharing, and the Mediterranean data space. The Mediterranean Sea is not just a geographical place; it is a crossroads of cultures, economies, and political trends which are now intertwined with data-driven technologies. Neither a national nor an EU versus non-EU perspective can fully grasp the variety and complexity of the resulting space and legal issues. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach to Mediterranean digital societies by analysing the legal, societal, and technical dimensions of the Mediterranean digital environment, with contributions by scholars and experts in this area. The book is a key resource for scholars who want to better understand these under-explored topics and do so from a Mediterranean, rather than an EU-centric perspective. It also supports policy makers designing their digital strategies - both sectoral and general - in the Mediterranean region, and considering the impact of data-driven technologies on society and their geo-political dimension. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Unternehmen gesetzliche Erwartungen an Lieferketten (z. B. LkSG oder CSDDD) auch als Chance nutzen können. Es wird eine praxisorientierte Methode zur Quantifizierung von Risiken (QuaRisk) in Bezug auf Menschenrechtsverletzungen und Umweltauswirkungen in der Lieferkette vorgestellt. Damit lassen sich Risikokennzahlen erstellen, die die Wahrscheinlichkeit und potenziellen Auswirkungen von Risiken auf einzelne Lieferanten, Länder, Materialgruppen und die gesamte Lieferkette abbilden. Gleichzeitig erfüllt die Methode die gesetzlichen Anforderungen der Regulierungsbehörden und gibt Unternehmen die Möglichkeit, simulationsbasierte Kennzahlen zur Bewertung und Steuerung wirtschaftlicher Auswirkungen zu nutzen. 
Das Modell ermöglicht es Unternehmen,&nbsp;ihre Lieferketten durch ein methodengestütztes, automatisierbares Risikomanagement effizient an rechtlichen Vorgaben auszurichten und diese gleichzeitig nachhaltiger und resilienter zu gestalten.
