The value chain detective: A methods positive intervention

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this article, I propose the concept of the ‘value chain detective’ to offer a fresh perspective on the role of researchers investigating economic, social and environmental dynamics at the base of global value chains. I highlight significant methodological, fieldwork and ethical challenges inherent in studying these conditions. By recognizing and embracing this role, I suggest that researchers can transform how they engage with and navigate the intricacies of value chain research.
