Assembling Export Markets explores the new 'frontier regions' of the
global fresh produce market that has emerged in Ghana over the past
decade.
- Represents a major and empirically rich contribution to the emerging
field of the social studies of economization and marketization
- Offers one of the first ethnographic accounts on the making of global
commodity chains 'from below'
- Denaturalizes global markets by unpacking their local engagement,
materially entangled construction, need for maintenance, and fragile
character
- Offers a trans-disciplinary engagement with the construction and
extension of market relations in two frontier regions of global
capitalism
- Critically examines the opportunities and risks for firms and farms in
Ghana entering global fresh produce markets
