Abstract
Although impacts are differentiated geographically and by sector, the outcomes of the adoption of ethical value networks are not always as progressive as the narratives that accompany such evolutions might suggest. EVeNs generally represent a reform in the market that reproduces the core-periphery structure of the global economy rather than a revolution in power relations that has the potential to re-condition it from below. This chapter reflects upon some common empirical outcomes, both positive and negative, observed across EVeNs across our case studies. It then outlines a number of frameworks that allow the tracing value realisation in EVeNs. Following a discussion of the prospects for EVeNs it offers some theoretical reflections. Finally, the knowledge gaps in ethical value research are considered.
