In 2014, investigative journalism into the Thai seafood industry exposed extensive labor exploitation. These stories shocked international consumers while scandalizing business groups and the Thai government, leading to a substantial policy response to improve the sector. A holistic and historically informed examination into local actors situated both inside and outside export-oriented supply-chains is merited. Such an analysis offers room to critique the dominate framework of the 'seafood scandal' as a problem of supply-chain governance. This thesis is driven by three main research questions; first, in what ways have supply-chains affect ecological and labor recruitment networks in Thailand? In response, it is argued that supply-chain governance will be incomprehensive at resolving the issues of maritime sustainability and labor exploitation in Thailand's seafood sector because vertically-integrated systems cannot account for reproductive ones. By treating marine wildlife and labor as inputs into a socially organized economic system without accounting for the costs of ecological and social reproduction, they are cheapened through the externalization of sustainability costs. The value of work and the value of nature are not compensated in full. Second, how have the responses of actors across the seafood production network been characterized by their positioning within the network? Here, global production network (GPN) theory is offered as an alternative approach to supply-chain theory. GPN will elucidate the relationship between the over exploitation of natural resources and the cheapening of labor, revealing how the labor issues seen in Thailand's seafood industry have developed through the web of the maritime ecosystem, while being constituted by the power differentials between actors. Thirdly, what possibilities does a GPN perspective offer for a policy approach? This thesis argues that GPNs imply the need for area-based approaches that are able to address power differentials between actors. Current responses and new regulations that reorganize work and marine life privilege vertically-integrated firms. This represents a new opportunity for companies to maintain firm power over supply-chains that precludes place-based and distributive regulations. Small-scale fishers, labor groups, and nature are effectively left out of this process. In sum, analysis presented in this thesis adds to the literature on Thailand's seafood production network through its historic consciousness and theoretical orientation paying special attention to the integration of ecological and labor systems.
