Abstract: This paper examines governance dynamics stemming from standardization in the Peruvian alpaca fibre chain. An empirically informed bi-dimensional framework resembling the chain’s fragmented supply-concentrated demand structure is applied to scrutinize vertical and horizontal interactions among domestic actors and institutions. Findings for the 1997-2013 period show that far from generic buyer-driven or quasi-hierarchical governance typologies, segmented governance modes co-exist but do not co- evolve within the fibre chain as standardization unfolds. Comparative case studies applying the proposed framework are encouraged in similarly structured commodity chains in the developing world for a more comprehensive understanding of governance dynamics.
