Is private regulation working? Book launch with Sourcing Journal on May 25

The New Conversations Project and the Sourcing Journal hosted a live launch and debate on Sarosh Kuruvilla's new book, Private Regulation of Labor Standards in Global Supply Chains: Problems, Progress, and Prospects on May 25, 2021.

Sarosh Kuruvilla laid out the book's key findings based on analysis of previously unavailable data about labor practices in global supply chains.
