Fair Trade z pohľadu postrozvojového prístupu
Fair Trade from a post-development perspective

Summary/Abstract: The fundamental problems of development politics lead some authors to call for alternatives to development instead of calling for development alternatives. The approach, which is based on a post-structuralist, discursive critique and refuses development as a whole, is called postdevelopment. The goal of this work is to follow Aram Ziai’s research methodology and examine Fair Trade (FT) from a post-development perspective. First I deal with the classical development paradigm and its normative assumptions. Then I present the post-development approach. In the last part, I examine the accordance of the FT publications and answers of FT employees with the classical development paradigm and try to answer the research question of whether FT, from a post-development perspective, represents a real alternative to the approaches from the classical development paradigm period or whether it is is just one of its followers.
