Les transactions économico-sexuelles : actrices et acteurs, institutions et territoires by Salomé Donzallaz, Olivier Crevoisier

“…Sexual Economic Transactions (SET) are approached from an institutionalist and territorial perspective, enabling us to supplement Tabet's structuralist framework and capture the changes that are underway. The aim is to identify the relational, institutional and computational modalities of SETs, and to propose an ideal-type based on Commons' transaction theory ([1934], 1989). …”
