Routledge contemporary South Asia series ; 133 Includes bibliographical references and index. "This book argues that larger flaws in the global supply chain must first be addressed to change the way business is conducted to prevent factory owners from taking deadly risks to meet clients' demands in the garment industry in Bangladesh. Using the 2013 Rana-Plaza disaster as a departure point, and to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future, this book presents an interdisciplinary analysis to address the disaster which resulted in a radical change in the functioning of the garment industry. The chapters present innovative ways of thinking about solutions that go beyond third-party monitoring. They open up possibilities for a renewed engagement of international brands and buyers within the garment sector, a focus on direct worker empowerment using technology, the role of community-based movements, developing a model of change through enforceable contracts combined with workers movements and a more productive and influential role for both factory owners and the government. This book makes key interventions and rethinks the approaches that have been taken until now and proposes suggestions for the way forward. It engages with international brands, the private sector and civil society to strategize about the future of the industry and for those who depend on it for their livelihood. A much-needed review and evaluation of the many initiatives that have been set up in Bangladesh in the wake of Rana-Plaza, this book is a valuable addition to academics in the fields of Development Studies, Gender and Women's Studies, Human Rights, Poverty and Practice, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, and South Asian Studies"-- ESS Trim Education 36384, 36385 Clothing trade Accidents Bangladesh Savar. 36092 Clothing workers Bangladesh Savar. 36093 Employee rights Bangladesh Savar. 36094 Labor movement Bangladesh Savar. 36095 International trade Moral and ethical aspects. 36096 Economics. 43536 Saxena, Sanchita Banerjee, 1972- editor. 36097 Routledge contemporary South Asia series ; 133. 36098 Ayesha Abed Library General Stacks ddc BK 0 0 ddc 0 331_768709549200000_LAB 0 66712 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2019-10-15 Trim Education 8220.00 1 331.7687095492 LAB 3010036384 2025-01-19 2025-01-12 1 8220.00 2019-10-15 BK 0 0 ddc 0 331_768709549200000_LAB 0 66713 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2019-10-15 Trim Education 8220.00 2 10 331.7687095492 LAB 3010036385 2024-02-05 2023-07-11 2 8220.00 2019-10-15 BK
