| Abstract: | There is an increasing concern for the notion of 'embeddedness' of economic activity; yet the conceptualization of the concept and its operationalisation remains underdeveloped. First, embeddedness may concern, on the one hand, the structure of relations that tie economic actors together (structural embeddedness) and, on the other hand, the social strands supplementing economic strands in each relation (substantive embeddedness). In this paper, a network framework is outlined which proposes several layers or 'orders' of embeddedness. Focusing on small farms, the point of departure is individual exchange relationships as personal ties combining economic and social concerns. |
