Dr. Shane Hamilton, 'The Persistence of Glyphosate: Monsanto’s Strategic Maintenance of Roundup, the World’s Most Enduring Herbicide Technology'

This week, PhD candidates Fergus and Caroline are joined by Shane Hamilton, Reader in Strategy, Management and Society at the University of York. They discuss his recent paper, “The Persistence of Glyphosate: Monsanto’s Strategic Maintenance of Roundup, the World’s Most Enduring Herbicide Technology.” The conversation explores the history of Monsanto’s production of glyphosate—better known by its commercial name, Roundup—and examines how the agrochemical company strategically maintained its dominance in the global herbicide market.Hosted by: Fergus Selsdon Games and Caroline Abbott, PhD candidates at Cambridge UniversityEdited by: Daisy Semmler, MPhil Student, and Hugh Wood, PhD Candidate at Cambridge University
