Abstract

Despite the economic, social, and environmental importance of emerging countries, most existing research into ethical consumerism has focused on developed market contexts. We introduce this Special Issue (SI) and provide a comprehensive thematic literature review considering three broad categories or aspects of ethical consumerism research, (1) contexts of ethical consumption, (2) forms of ethical consumerism, and (3) approaches to explaining ethical consumer behavior. We summarize the articles of this SI as part of the thematic literature review to provide an understanding of how these articles and this SI’s overall contribute to ethical consumerism research. Each article in this SI offers new insights into a specific field of ethical consumerism while focusing on emerging market contexts. Overall, this SI expands knowledge related to the dynamics and challenges of ethical consumerism and offers future research directions in this area.

新兴市场的道德消费主义：机遇与挑战

尽管新兴国家在经济、社会和环境方面具有重要意义，但现有的道德消费主义研究大多集中在发达市场背景下。我们介绍了本特刊（SI），并对伦理消费主义研究的三大类或三个方面进行了全面的专题文献综述：(1) 伦理消费的背景；(2) 伦理消费主义的形式；(3) 解释伦理消费行为的方法。作为专题文献综述的一部分，我们对本 SI 中的文章进行了总结，以便了解这些文章和本 SI 的整体内容是如何为道德消费主义研究做出贡献的。本 SI 中的每篇文章都对道德消费主义的特定领域提出了新的见解，同时关注新兴市场背景。总之，本 SI 扩展了与道德消费主义的动态和挑战有关的知识，并提供了该领域未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Business Ethics publishes only original articles from a wide variety of methodological and disciplinary perspectives concerning ethical issues related to business that bring something new or unique to the discourse in their field. Since its initiation in 1980, the editors have encouraged the broadest possible scope. The term `business'' is understood in a wide sense to include all systems involved in the exchange of goods and services, while `ethics'' is circumscribed as all human action aimed at securing a good life. Systems of production, consumption, marketing, advertising, social and economic accounting, labour relations, public relations and organisational behaviour are analysed from a moral viewpoint. The style and level of dialogue involve all who are interested in business ethics - the business community, universities, government agencies and consumer groups. Speculative philosophy as well as reports of empirical research are welcomed. In order to promote a dialogue between the various interested groups as much as possible, papers are presented in a style relatively free of specialist jargon.
