307 - Regular Session. Economic Sociology: Markets, Movements, Metrics of Evaluation

Sun, August 17, 2:30 to 4:10pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session focuses on the role of certification systems and performance metrics (e.g., for organic, fair trade, green products, socially responsible investment, non profit organizations) in upgrading markets, sustaining non-profit purposes in the economy, and fostering “high road” capitalisms. It takes up critical issues of whether and how certification systems are plagued by “hostile world” conflicts between social and economic agendas, face dilution or diminished capacity as they become institutionalized in markets, and manage those dilemmas.
