Neither trade as an economic activity nor
attempts to manage trade in the form of
policy are new concepts.
However, attempts to manage trade at the
international level in terms of policy and
liberalisation are relatively recent
interventions.
Trade is an activity of exchange that
appears in different forms, and takes
place in different locations.
It could be two people in a village market or two
nations trading their cash crops on the
international stage.
Moreover, those indirectly participating in
trading activities can be paid or unpaid
workers, business-owners, importers, exporters
and consumers.
The actors from the small to the large scale are
all economic agents but have different roles and
different levels and types of power and
influence.
They therefore also have differential amounts of
loss and gain.

'Power' that must constantly be struggled over and –
backed up with force, including violence, is not
power.

Personality, of discovering one’s own
strength, of teaching how to exert an
influence, i.e

changes in moral and social norms remain
