| Tiivistelmä: | This article aims to understand how “ethical public issues” are created and handled in a public arena. We treat ethical public issues as social constructs, which result from issue framing contests. Such an approach will allow us to understand how ethical public issues emerge and take shape by strategizing actors (including firms, NGOs, the media, and governments), attempting to impose their own definition and favorite solution to the issue. We also suggest key factors explaining the success of a framing attempt, and evidence of such success. The case of the labor conditions in the cocoa industry in West Africa is used to illustrate the theoretical framework and methodological approach of the study. |
