One recent and useful piece that I recall:
Lars Gulbrandsen. June 2005. "Mark of Sustainability? Challenges
for Fishery and Forestry Eco-Labeling," Environment 47(5), and
references therein.
If you get a critical mass of suggestions, please compile them and
post 'em to the list.
Thanks,

Next syllabus hole to fill:
I'm looking for readings that talk about the role of information or
labeling as an environmental protection strategy (separate from regulation
-- the idea that simply providing information can change behavior).
Things like how the Toxic Release Inventory or related industry disclosure
rules change industry behavior, or anything about how labeling something
as organic or dolphin-safe or whatever changes consumer behavior and/or
the theory behind why.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
