This chapter treats two complex and interrelated themes within the administration of the European market. The first is the requirement that the normative structures of European market administration (or law) take steps to ensure that the market's dominant economic rationalities are subject to constant correction and modification in light of social and ethical values. The second is the issue of how the law of market administration can maintain its integrity when adjudicating upon conflicts between economic rationalities within Europe and the various ethical and social values that seek to challenge them.Less

Before it became the capital of a unified Yemen (in 1990), Sana'a was the political and economic hub of the high plateau. Located at the crossroads of seven tribal territories, the city is situated at the center of a regional network of weekly markets. Before the 1960s, its market included about forty specialized suqs. Today, many specialized suqs have disappeared while the number of actual shops has reached two thousand. The market continues to be an important centre for the commercialization of agricultural products and the production of certain crafts. This chapter discusses the pivotal role played by the suqs in the relationship between the city and the countryside, as well as the issue of the market's centrality in the context of Sanaa's actual urban expansion.Less

The basic feature of the 1970 Agreement between the EEC and Spain, Chapter 6 explains, was the negotiated asymmetry in favour of Spain. Franco’s governments succeeded in securing irreversible access to the Common Market, with the most favourable terms possible for a non-EEC country. This was despite the increasing political costs for the Six/Nine and Madrid not having to pay the price of political evolution. The Spanish administration accepted that the Franco regime should evolve but only if the speed and the destination were left up to Madrid. The 1970 Agreement represented a shield granted by the Six in favour of Franco Spain. The Six and the EEC Council and Commission dealt with a relatively weak partner. Meanwhile, Spain faced a set of countries that together formed an omnipotent trading bloc and embodied the highest democratic values. Despite this, Franco’s negotiators succeeded in imposing the essential aspects of their objectives.Less
