DESCRIPTION:Mistrust\, no less than trust\, can be intrinsic to positive c
 onceptualisations of moral economy. In a critique of certain approaches to
  global trade\, Professor Humphrey will in this lecture suggest that resea
 rchers should interest themselves in the moral economies of states and gov
 ernments as well as those of local actors. Accounts of three contrasting o
 perations – historical as well as ethnographic studies of business trans
 actions at the Russia-China-Mongolia border – will serve as examples of 
 this argument. In each of them business and state operations intersect\, c
 omprising a different formulation of trust / mistrust related to practical
  interactions and socio-cultural separations.
