Delphine Mercier @cnrs :

"The #globalisation of the #economy cannot be reduced to #offshoring, it also translates into the coexistence of different #legal regimes within the same territory. …[the] contribution to the local economy remain extremely low [and there is] the development of a parallel and #informalEconomy around #storage spaces. It is just one small step from a #freeZone to a grey area."
