Organization Of Markets

In this chapter, we discuss the organization of markets for publicly financed services, inspired by the model of the ‘perfect market’, with the Swedish eldercare sector as our example. We demonstrate how market organizers try to compensate for a malfunctioning price mechanism by gathering and disseminating information through the use of rules, membership, and monitoring. In trying to imitate the perfect market as closely as possible, regardless of the preferences of buyers and sellers, market organizers emphasized simplified and, most notably, comparable information. These attempts contributed to greater homogenization of eldercare services, thereby counteracting the greater diversity and customization that was an original aim of the marketization reform. The result is a market that satisfies neither its creators nor the eldercare users it was meant to serve.

Transnational food law is a growing field of practice that has emerged with the globalization of food and agricultural systems. This chapter analyzes the role of food and agriculture as a legally constitutive site of struggle. As both a basic need and an economic commodity, food is an object around which struggles over the organization of markets, the authority of legal institutions, and the regulation of powerful actors have consistently fomented. After surveying the role of agrarian struggles in shaping early international law, this chapter analyzes the contentious regulatory space of transnational food security governance. It argues that contemporary governance is shaped by competing paradigms—a “productivist” and “food sovereignty” paradigm—which transnational actors struggle to translate across a variety of regulatory institutions, arenas, and processes. This chapter thereby demonstrates how food and agricultural governance remain a critical space of struggle over the democratic and regulatory possibilities of global governance.
