这本书关注的传播public and private environmental and food safety regulations from Europe and North America to Asia and Africa. It explores the growth of policy diffusion and standard alignment on sustainability observed in non-Western follower countries in a globalizing world.

‘The Diffusion of Public and Private Sustainability Regulation sheds much needed light on the domestic processes in Asian and African countries that adopt policies originating from elsewhere. Policy diffusion processes are an essential part of global environmental governance but we still don’t fully understand how, in particular, non-Western countries translate and adopt environmental regulations that originate from Western countries. This book is a major contribution in this regard.’
