ABSTRACT
El Eulma has become an
important node of transnational informal trade. It maintains strong relationships
with international market places since the period where the “Trabendo” have seen a wide development in Algeria. On the national and
regional level, the city of El Eulma is the main element of the network of informal
merchant areas known by “Doubaï” markets. The most important
areas are located in the central and eastern of Algeria.
This dual membership was conferred to it because of the strong presence of
import companies and the existence of discrete and dynamic networks well-organized, formed of false importers. This article focuses
on commercial trajectories, the forms of networks and their developments and
tries to know the logic. From these trajectories, how the merchant places could
be formed in Algeria, as was the case for El Eulma.
KEYWORDS
Trabendo, international nodes of informal trade, “Doubaï” markets of Algeria, discrete networks of globalization from below, silk road.
