“Everybody is talking value chains” is the bold claim of a development practitioner and professor in Ghana (2011_4: 15). In his statement, he refers to the wide and rapid expansion of a model of global markets that has recently gained momentum in economic practice and development policies all over the Global South. (The notion “Global South” is a relational notion rather than a spatially fixed term that separates the world into two clearly bordered hemispheres. See Ouma, Lindner (2010) and Solarz (2012).) The rising uptake of market-oriented approaches in development cooperation represents the departure point of this study: It is about markets, development, and politics, and how they are linked together.
