| Description: | In theory smuggling and small-scale trade differ in accordance to their legal status. “Traditionally, ‘trade’ is the legal and ‘smuggling’ is the illegal means of moving items from one side of the border to the other” (Thuen 1999: 741). Legality respectively illegality thereby is not a natural feature of a person or a thing but the result of an external labelling process (see Singelnstein/Stolle 2008: 122) through which the attribute of being legal or illegal is applied. The status of (il)legality qualifies a relation between a trading activity and a state‘s law. Smuggling and small-scale trade are hence effects of state regulations |
