Soybean Agribusiness in Argentina (1990-2015): Socio- Economic, Territorial, Environmental, and Political Implications
Nowadays, soybean value chain is both the major expression of agribusiness and one of the most troublesome uses of territory of Argentina. This chapter is aimed to analyzing the worrying socio-economic, territorial, environmental, and political implications unchained by the expansion of the soybean's pattern during the last 25 years. On the basis of scholarly literature and both official and unofficial sources of data, we have studied the restructuration of the rural sector, the concentration of both the rural property and the agro-industrial chain, the new territorial enclosures, the socio-ecological and health consequences of the soybean's advance, and the influence of the transnational se...
Agricultural Value Chain
This book covers the agricultural value chain issues that occur in different parts of the world and aims to increase our understanding about the sustainable agricultural value chain paradigm. By reading through these chapters, the readers will witness various interesting, sometimes sad, commonalities among different regions of the world, where smallholder farmers and producers are severely affected by various agricultural policy deficiencies or mistakes and inexistences. The book consists of 14 chapters, which comprehensively cover over 20 agricultural products from more than 15 different regions of the world. Various qualitative and quantitative research methods are presented including surveys, case studies, interviews, price transmission, risk analysis, and multiagent system technology.
Maps of Quality of Life in Argentina Since the 19th Century
The book is presented as an Atlas where the map plays a fundamental role in the study of quality of life, as it shows its progression in Argentina from the 19th to the 21st Century. In the book, it can be observed how the concept has evolved along with the dimensions and variables that better represent its spatial distribution. This is one of the original points of the book: the temporal study of the living conditions of the argentine population, empirically and spatially, emphasizing their territorial representation. Although the book maintains the same socioeconomic dimensions (education, health and housing), the tour through the different chapters offers a historical window that allows the reader to know what the forms of information collection were like in different historical moments. This book is written for geographers and members of the scientific community interested in the study of the well-being of the population. It also allows us to observe the evolution of the quality of life from the 19th century to the 21st, so it may be of interest to historians as well.
The Political Economy of Agrarian Change in Latin America
This book makes an original contribution to the discussion about agro-food exporting countries’ governmental policy. It presents a historicized and internationally contextualized exploration of the political economy of agrarian change in three Latin American countries: Argentina, Praguay, and Uruguay. By comparatively examining how these states have acted in a context of global driven market forces and historically formed institutions, the monograph illuminates the differing capacities of state autonomy under the present era of globalized agriculture.
Acumulacion Por Desposesion Y Conflictos Espaciales
Operando como la principal herramienta y forma de expresion del orden global, la acumulacion por desposesion implica la subordinacion de las comunidades locales, el despojo de sus recursos y el avasallamiento de sus derechos por parte de las empresas transnacionales y la logica del mercado mundial. A luz de ese sistema de ideas, este libro estudia los conflictos espaciales derivados del actual boom de la mineria metalifera en la Argentina. Se atiende para ello a tres dimensiones: la ideologia y narrativa del discurso que legitimo ese modelo modernizador, generando ceguera y complacencia en el imaginario colectivo local; el descubrimiento, por parte de las sociedades locales, de sus verdaderas implicancias sociales, politicas, economicas, territoriales, ambientales y sanitarias, y la consiguiente elaboracion de diferentes formas de revuelta o resistencia; y la contraofensiva de las mineras transnacionales y el Estado para sofocar esa sedicion. Este libro se dirige tanto a los estudiosos del auge del (neo)extractivismo en los paises perifericos, como a los miembros de la comunidad internacional preocupados por los impactos socio-economicos y ambientales generados por dicho modelo."
Poéticas con voluntad de otredad
Las persistentes clasificaciones de una literatura o arte "del interior" de la nación han sedimentado diversos procesos culturales de homogeneización y esencialización. Este devenir histórico-artístico, signado por diferenciaciones y estratificaciones, ha consolidado determinados constructos de otredad, que a su vez son revisitados por los artistas regionales desde múltiples perspectivas críticas. En diálogo con esta problematización, este libro propone –a partir de los resultados de una investigación doctoral– el análisis interregional de un corpus estratégico de dramaturgias argentinas que permite comprender las configuraciones poéticas elaboradas por las prácticas escén...
Global Value Chains and Uneven Development
Globale Wertschöpfungsketten (GWK) bieten überall auf der Welt Möglichkeiten für ökonomische und soziale Aufwertung? Das kolportieren zumindest Institutionen wie die Weltbank. Diese Annahme ist jedoch weder theoretisch noch empirisch haltbar, so der Befund von Christin Bernhold. Die Argumentation stützt sich auf eine ideologiekritische Diskussion der GWK-Forschung und eine umfassende Analyse von Upgrading-Strategien im argentinischen Agribusiness. Wirtschaftsverbände organisieren sich dort entlang von Agrar-Wertschöpfungsketten, um Partikularinteressen durchzusetzen. Durch »upgrading in and through class differentiation« werden Ausbeutungsverhältnisse und die ungleichen Geographien des Kapitalismus zum Wohle einiger weniger umgeformt, nicht aber aufgehoben.
