In recent years, a broad coalition of social actors has directed intense criticism towards what is claimed to be an unjust structure of the conventional global trading system. As an alternative to this one, Fair Trade (FT) has been developed, which finds itself at a crossroads. Important challenges lie ahead, like increasing market access, differentiation from conventional trading and marketing system, preservation of the movement’s identity or purity, etc. Internal conflicts of contradictory forces, arising, become visible, exposing FT to explode. This paper aims to map FT phenomenon as a complex collection of social convictions, and managerial and marketing practices.
