Abstract
This article is the result of an exploratory survey undertaken in Morocco in 2011, in the rural bazaars (souks) of the Middle Atlas region and in the city of Casablanca. The traders’ stands in rural bazaars display globalised merchandise along with national and local products. The inter-regional connections and regular travels of traders have brought urban culture to the countryside by making available urban products that are more and more diversified and accessible. The bazaars still have their traditional architecture but the very nature of the trading that goes on there has changed the landscape. The bazaars have been one of the interfaces of the globalisation process for a few decades already. We studied the mobility of “ant-like” traders to grasp the bazaar as an entity through its connections. The main sources of supply are in the northern part of the country, including the city of Casablanca which now features Chinese traders as well. The supply circuits reveal, through the essential role played by the Spanish enclaves, a hierarchy of connected places, all linked together and having separate functions. These trading markets are only the regional expression of trans-national global trade.
