Book synopsis

Small-scale trade and smuggling are part of everyday life at many borders. These trading activities often compensate for economic shortage that many households are suffering from in consequence of e.g. political transformation processes. Despite of the diversity of transborder small-scale trade and smuggling and their wide dispersion, not only in Europe, their reception within social sciences is relatively low. This publication wants therefore to shed light on research in geography and neighboured disciplines focusing on smuggling and transborder small-scale trade. On the basis of empirical research findings from borders all over the world, the publication thrives to analyse mechanisms and conditions of the informal activities and to detect parallels and differences of informal economic structures from different perspectives.
