Abstract

Ownership of fair trade is claimed across a diverse range of ideologies and practices. Fair trade has even been used by some free trade advocates to represent their own methods and achievements. Consequently, affiliation with the fair trade banner does not necessarily exclude free trade strategies as might be expected. A key challenge is to ensure that the distinction between fairness arguments is understood. Some posit a conventional trade liberalisation model while others advocate alternative trade practices and their networks (defined as distinct from the dominant free trade paradigm). This understanding is fundamental to identifying and evaluating not only free trade strategies and practices but also to identifying and evaluating applied alternatives to conventional trading practices.
