Globalization, Free Trade, and the Social Impact of the Decline of Informal Production: The Case of Artisans in Quito, Ecuador
In the context of globalization and policies to promote free trade on an
international scale, this paper discusses what has happened to artisans
in Quito, Ecuador, over the past 30 years. The trends of conservation
and decline have not been uniform over time and they have not affected
all micro-firms in the same way. There has been a long-term process of
restructuring and decline of these producers and they have clearly
suffered from national and international free trade policies. This has
resulted in levels of alienation, xenophobia and racism that are likely
to have negative political consequences.
