Food, Wages, and Profits: Mechanized Schemes and the Sudanese State
研究苏丹国家在农业政治中的关键作用,通过案例说明国家如何支持机械化农业计划,并指出这种支持反映了国家内部的阶级利益。
This paper examines the pivotal role of the state in the politics of agriculture being played out on the landscape in Sudan. It is argued that geographic research must come to terms with the operation of the state in order to conceptualize clearly the allocation of rural resources and the transformation of agrarian economies. An in-depth case study demonstrates how the state has intervened on the behalf of those who operate mechanized agricultural schemes in the central rainlands of Sudan. It is concluded that the variegated assistance for schemes reflects the sustained exercise of class interests located in the Sudanese state.
