Multi-stakeholder Initiatives for Sustainable Supply Networks
CFP: Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene Forum
I am excited to invite you to contribute a Research Article, Review, Practice Bridge, Policy Bridge, or Commentary to an Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene Forum on "Multi-stakeholder Initiatives for Sustainable Supply Networks". The purpose of this Forum is to address the sustainability transition challenge: How are multi-stakeholder initiatives creating sustainable supply networks? The Forum is open for submissions now and will be through 2016.
Please go here to see the full call for papers: https://home.elementascience.org/forums/multi-%C2%ADstakeholder-initiatives-for-sustainable-supply-chains-2/
Submissions are particularly encouraged from those who are engaging in real change and can share with others what they have learned. Submissions can address the following or similar research questions:
- How and why do multi-stakeholder sustainable supply network initiatives emerge and what is their impact?
- How are such initiatives effectively governed? • How does decision-making and social collaboration occur in such initiatives, and how is conflict managed and resolved?
- What is the role of participation by the public or civil society organizations in such initiatives?
- What is the role of private governance relative to public governance of sustainability issues?
- How do institutions, power, or culture impact such initiatives?
- How do different stakeholders prioritize such initiatives?
- How are data and analytical methods used in such initiatives?
- What are the major barriers towards emergence of collective action?
- What different theoretical perspectives can be used to study such initiatives, and what similar and different insights emerge from these different theoretical lenses?
Elementa is quickly becoming a high prestige outlet for sustainability researchers, and this Special Forum will attract a broad and diverse audience of scholars and practitioners to your work. Elementa is a fully open access, non-profit publishing platform co-founded by five universities and BioOne, a non-profit publisher.
Please contact me (Kevin.Dooley@asu.edu) if you have any questions, and I look forward to seeing your submission.
