Response to Technological Change: The International Wine Industry, 1850–1939
  The paper compares the response to technological change and demand for 
institutional innovation in five very different wine producing nations (France, Spain, 
Algeria, Australia, and the United States). The international transfer in knowledge 
associated with grape production, and in particular the rapid advances in eliminating the 
obstacles to successful winemaking in hot climates, radically changed the locus of 
production of the industry and in turn threatened the livelihood of many traditional EHA Abstracts 581 
growers. Yet while international changes in production technologies and the integration 
of national markets encouraged a concentration of economic activities everywhere, the 
political voice and bargaining power of growers, winemakers, and merchants differed 
greatly within individual countries. The paper discusses the political economy of 
institutional change and government intervention in each of the five countries in the 
areas of product adulteration, producer cooperatives, and appellation contrôlée.
