Sumario:This paper examines the fair trade network within the context of the post-war international development regime. In recent years, the sale of fair trade agricultural commodities in the North has grown rapidly and the fair trade network has been relatively successful at gaining the support of public institutions and transnational corporations. The paper argues that this success, when viewed historically, can only be properly understood as the flip-side of the defeat of the broader fair trade movement which sought national and international market regulation and is in fact indicative of the current triumph of neoliberal globalization.
