"In this pathbreaking book, Francesco Duina smartly challenges
conventional wisdom on globalization, contrasting economic visions
of integration with social understandings of how markets work. By
comparing three different regional trade agreements, the book
provides exceptional insight into how global models are adopted and
vary around the world. The case studies on the standardization of
reality are original and refreshing, and the book's rigorous
analysis of law will be compelling reading for scholars,
practitioners, and policymakers."--John K. Glenn, Director of
Foreign Policy, German Marshall Fund of the United States
""The Social Construction of Free Trade" is a brilliant book
that is poised to be a classic. It contains an astonishing amount
of empirical material and a striking methodology, stands alone in
comparing the three markets in question, possesses original ideas,
is powerfully informed theoretically, and is beautifully
written."--John A. Hall, McGill University, coauthor of "Is America
Breaking Apart?"
"This is a very important and well-written book. It argues,
contrary to much of the current literature, that transnational
regional markets did not arise naturally or spontaneously. Nor did
they converge on a common model. Instead, they were socially
constructed through a process of political bargaining, struggle,
and negotiation. To my knowledge, this is the first book that
compares the development of different regional markets. It is a
must read for sociologists, political scientists, economists, and
others who are interested in globalization, comparative political
economy, economic sociology, and how regional markets are created
and operate."--John Campbell, Dartmouth College, author of
"Institutional Change and Globalization"
