The “new” internationalization of agriculture: A reformulation
重新定义农业国际化为一个受政治和经济条件影响的过程，分析1980年代资本主义制度变化如何迫使墨西哥等国牺牲粮食安全以促进农业出口。
Our research on the “new” internationalization of agriculture builds on analyses of the internationalization of capital and the New International Division of Labor, but reformulates “internationalization” as a contingent, political and economic process. We argue that shifts in the institutional structure of capitalism in the 1980s profoundly altered national policy options and agro-food markets. States, such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, have been compelled to promote agricultural exports, typically at the expense of national food security. While southern states pursue a common goal of international competitiveness, this involves a varied process of domestic restructuring and differentiates states within the world economy.
