ABSTRACT Cross-border trade is central to the socio-economic structure of the former Soviet republics and their integration in the world economy. In the Caucasus and Central Asia, bazaars have functioned as nodes that enable multi-directional, cross-border trade. While there have been studies on the bazaar trade in the Soviet successor states, few have used quantitative methods. Drawing from 600 structured interviews with traders in Dordoi (Bishkek) and Lilo (Tbilisi), the data from Dordoi highlight the relationship between informality and entrepreneurship, unlike Lilo, where there are clearer markers of formality, but where bazaar trade also seems to be less profitable. The data from the 600 interviews illustrate that Dordoi functions as a globalized trading hub, its transnational linkages forged by the bazaar traders and the buyers themselves. By contrast, trade in Lilo is more localized. Hence, ‘globalization from below’ presents itself differently across the post-Soviet space.

Dordoi 和 Lilo 集市的交易:形式、创业和全球化的前沿

摘要 跨境贸易是前苏联加盟共和国社会经济结构及其融入世界经济的核心。在高加索和中亚,集市已成为实现多向、跨境贸易的节点。虽然对苏联继承国的集市贸易进行了研究,但很少使用定量方法。Dordoi(比什凯克)和 Lilo(第比利斯)的贸易商进行了 600 次结构化访谈,Dordoi 的数据突出了非正式性和创业精神之间的关系,这与 Lilo 不同,后者有更清晰的正式标志,但集市贸易似乎也较少有利可图。600次采访的数据表明,多尔多伊是一个全球化的贸易中心,它的跨国联系是由集市商和买家自己形成的。相比之下,Lilo 的贸易更加本地化。因此,“自下而上的全球化”在后苏联时代的表现各不相同。
