      abstract = {As supply chains become increasingly globalized,  unilaterally imposed regulations raise tensions between  national sovereignty and their extraterritorial  consequences on economic development. While the European  Union has the right to regulate its supply chains, such  policies can have severe implications for smallholders in  commodity-producing countries who are often  underrepresented in the policy-making process. Through a  case study on the impact of the EU Deforestation Regulation  (EUDR) on Indonesia’s palm oil industry, this paper  explores how supply chain regulations can reinforce  existing inequalities in transnational trade at the  industry and international level. By analyzing the  responses and actions taken by industry stakeholders and  government actors following the introduction of the EUDR in  2023 – drawing on secondary interviews and reports – this  study reveals how unilateral supply chain regulations can  disproportionately impede smallholder market access and  deepen asymmetries between the Global North and  commodity-producing nations.},
