The Social Construction of Market; Sociological Analysis of Origination of Market by emphasize on Baneh Market in Kordistan

The purpose of this paper is to answer the question of how a market will be created. This issue has been analyzed through the study of the emergence of the network of relationships, activists and work norms in the Baneh border market in Kurdistan province. For this purpose, qualitative method and interview and observation techniques, and documentary analysis were used to collect data. The conceptual and theoretical framework is the result of Karl Polanyi, Mark Granovetter, and Richard Swedberg''s views on "New Economic Sociology". The results show that the formation of the market is not accidental, natural or result of self-regulatory processes, but rather a political, legal, and institutional foundation, based on the current relationships between actors and their social and cultural roots. The social, economic, and political imperatives of the region under study have led the government, through economic policies, to create a network of relationships, actors and norms of work in sustained forms, called the "border market". In addition, the findings show that over time, the pattern of trade, the organization of economic relations, the number and nature of forces inside and outside the market and their relationships with each other have changed significantly.
