3. How do economic, institutional, and design processes shape open-air markets and their role in economic and ecological sustainability?

This theme explores market design principles, institutional influences, and adaptive governance affecting open-air and other marketplaces. Research here addresses markets as economically embedded social constructions, wicked opportunities responding to complex systemic challenges (like pandemics and climate change), and the use of market mechanisms for public goods and pollution control. It further considers the performativity of markets shaped by economists and policymakers.

Key finding: Using ethnographic methods and the metaphor of garden ‘tending,’ the paper conceptualizes markets—including supermarkets and traditional bazaars—as material and spatial enactments where economic cognition is situated. It... Read more
