This study looks at the international coffee trade, examining how it has been impacted by worldwide supply, conflicts between consumers and producers, international regimes that employ quotas and the linkage between international security regimes led by hegemonic regional and international powers.

Over the past two decades, sales of fair trade coffee have grown significantly and the fair trade network has emerged as an important international development project. Activists and commentators have been quick to celebrate this sales growth, which has allowed socially just trade, labour, and environmental standards and practices to be extended to hundreds of thousands of small farmers and poor rural workers throughout the Global South. While recent assessments of the fair trade network have focused on its impact on local poverty alleviation, however, the broader political-economic and historically rooted structures that frame it have been left largely unexamined. In this study, Gavin Fridell argues that while local level analysis is important, examination of the impacts of broader structures on fair trade coffee networks, and vice versa, are of equal if not greater significance in determining their long-term developmental potential. Using case studies from Mexico and Canada, Fridell examines the fair trade coffee movement at both the global and local level, assessing its effectiveness and locating it within political and development theory. In addition, Fridell provides in-depth historical analysis of fair trade coffee in the context of global trade, and compares it with a variety of postwar development projects within the coffee industry. Timely, meticulously researched, and engagingly written, this study challenges many commonly held assumptions about the long-term prospects and pitfalls of the fair trade network's market-driven strategy in the era of globalization.

A careful analysis of the politically regulated world coffee market from the 1960s to the 1980s reveals a fairer market than the current globalized de-regulated affair can ever deliver. The author argues that fair trade and organic coffees alone cannot insure fairness for Third World growers and producers.

An economic analysis of the the international coffee trade. The paper compares two regulatory regimes, the International Coffee Organization and the Fairtrade Labelling organization. The ICO is an intergovernmental group that has historically regulated the international coffee trade between exporters and importers of coffee. The FLO is an NGO that uses its label, and the fair trade standards that lable indicates, to improve the economic positions of coffee farmers. The paper concludes that both regulatory regimes cannot achieve longterm improvement in the economic conditions of coffee traders because they ignore the oversupply of coffee that has historically driven the real price of coffee down.

The global coffee chain is currently characterized by a paradoxical coexistence of a 'coffee boom' in consuming countries and a 'coffee crisis' in producing countries. This book shows that the 'coffee paradox' exists because the coffee farmers sell and the coffee consumers buy are increasingly different coffees.

This work analyzes formal and informal markets for microfinance in rural Argentina. It provides a broad overview of rural financial markets in all their forms. It carefully describes the ways in which small, rural producers use financial services, be they saving services, loans or payment services. It then describes the current state of the supply of the rural microfinance, covering a variety of institutional forms such as public banks, private banks, cooperatives, non-governmental organizations, and input suppliers. After comparing demand with supply to determine mismatches, it suggests improvements in the micro and macro structure of the market that would likely improve long-term access to rural microfinance for small products.
