contents We study the connection between cyclic quasi-monotonicity and quasi-convexity, focusing on whether every cyclically quasi-monotone (possibly multivalued) map is included in the normal cone operator of a quasi-convex function, in analogy with Rockafellar's theorem for convex functions. We provide a positive answer for $\mathscr{C}^1$-regular, non-vanishing maps in any dimension, as well as for general multi-maps in dimension $1$. We further discuss connections to revealed preference theory in economics and to $L^\infty$ optimal transport. Finally, we present explicit constructions and examples, highlighting the main challenges that arise in the general case.
