Market Anthropology and Global Trade

Abstract

In economic anthropology, the concept of 'market' needs a more detailed elaboration. The traditional distinction between barter and price markets does not suffice. One of the identifiable forms of market in anthropology is the individualized, "subjective" market which is defined by the question: "What is my (!) market?". It is characterized by competitive tension between economic rivals, not just by a good and an area. Using this concept of the market in the subjective sense, some aspects of globalized economy look different from hitherto held propositions. One of these aspects is a global competition law. An earlier draft proposal of an international antitrust code will be discussed and related to the concept of the subjective market as well as to the "convention method" of regulating crossborder legal issues in intellectual property law (the Paris and Berne Conventions).
