Standardization vs Products of Origins: What Kinds of Agricultural Products Have the Potential to Become a Protected Geographical Indication?

Chapter 3 in Geographical Indications and International Agricultural Trade, 2012, pp 48-70 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The diverging perception related to Geographical Indications (GIs) in Europe and the United States represents a different kind of understanding of food quality along the two shores of the Atlantic. It demonstrates that quality is a social construct with various meanings across time and cultures (see the chapters by Steiner and Allaire in this volume), while it also reflects the power relations within the market and the importance of the ‘architecture of the market’ (Fligstein, 2001).
