520 |a Originally given as the inaugural annual ‘Fair Trade Lecture’ (March 2013), this article links together the events of 1) Fairtrade Fortnight, 2) the declaration of Scotland as a ‘Fair Trade Nation’ and 3) the Bicentenary of David Livingstone. Situated within an interpretation of ‘international development’ as the equalisation of individual human freedoms to live a subjectively valuable life, overall, I seek to highlight the continuing relevance of Livingstone’s thoughts and action for the contemporary fair trade movement. I identify that Livingstone’s promotion of international trade has remained a central component of today’s development policy. Moreover, I interpret his quest for ‘Legitimate Trade’ as a precursor to the contemporary view that trade interaction alone is insufficient for pro-development outcomes. Following an analysis of why current trade patterns often fail the development agenda, I highlight fair trade as one means through which ordinary citizens can contribute more certainly to the expansion of human freedoms. The final section echoes Livingstone’s call to action that readers play a heightened role in establishing fairer international trade: particularly by adopting a proactive approach to considering what constitutes ‘fair trade’ activity and how wider advocacy might be integrated into consumption based activism.
