Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2009, vol.4, n.7, pp.64-86. ISSN 1870-4115. https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2009.7.184.
This essay2 analyzes the impact and the consequences of expansion of markets on fair trade. Founded on precise principles and norms, in a lapse of ten years fair trade has converted from an incipient market into one in full expansion. This growth related with the entry of equitable trade into the conventional circuit —in particular in supermarkets— has been accompanied by a progressive change of the values of fair trade. Its opening to the international market enabled the expansion of markets and development of new competencies. But tensions were also created between new and historic actors of fair trade. Based on a gender perspective, this article analyzes the consequences of market expansion on the —individual and collective— empowerment of women, gender relations, participation, and local development.
