Climate justice
Peter Newell
Abstract：In this short concept note I briefly contextualise the origins and evolution of the term climate justice, relating it to ongoing shifts in the world of climate politics before exploring connections to current debates in agrarian studies to illustrate the significant scope both for understanding agrarian struggles through the lens of climate justice, but also how insights from agrarian studies can enrich understandings and practices of climate justice.
Climate rentierism after coal: forests, carbon offsets, and post-coal politics in the Appalachian coalfields
Gabe Schwartzman
Abstract：The central Appalachian coalfields have become a major site of carbon forestry offsets on California's carbon market. I use these coalfields as a vantage point from which to examine the emerging dynamics of climate change and rentier capitalism in the rural Global North. Studying one valley on the Kentucky-Tennessee border where coal mining has largely ended, I document how emergent land uses take the form of rentier capitalism. I conclude that rentier dynamics articulated with deindustrialization have created the conditions for right-wing populism to emerge, in part in response to the experience of becoming ‘surplus population,’ drawing upon Tania Li's framework.
Oro blanco: assembling extractivism in the lithium triangle
Daniela Soto Hernandez Peter Newell
Abstract：As the drive for global electrification proceeds, new pressures are placed on agrarian environments in areas abundant in key minerals for electric batteries. The so-called lithium triangle between Chile, Argentina and Bolivia is one of those places. We develop an account of the ‘assemblages of extractivism’ at work in this zone that operate at a material, institutional and discursive level. Drawing on fieldwork from the region and conceptualized using different strands of political ecology and political economy, we explore how the construction of a commodity, the materiality of lithium and the role of the state intersect with local understandings and engagements with this latest form of ‘renewable extractivism’.
The last enclosure: smoke, fire and crisis on the Indonesian forest frontier
Michael Eilenberg
Abstract：Forest and land fires have been occurring in Indonesia since the 1970s, but within the last two decades the intensity of these fires and their effects on neighbouring countries has elicited high media attention and new political engagement. As a direct consequence, the Indonesian government has taken stern measures by prohibiting farmers from burning land and forests as part of their agricultural practices. Through the case of Indonesian Borneo, the paper explores how the haze crisis reinitiates old discourses of ‘backward' and ‘destructive’ agriculture and invigorates policies of agricultural modernisation and privatisation at the expense of traditional agrarian practices.
Unanticipated transformations of infrapolitics
Andrew Nova Le
Abstract：Drawing on a decade of multi-country ethnographic fieldwork with Vietnamese migrant offshore fishermen contracted to work on Taiwanese vessels, this article presents a new account of infrapolitics that emphasizes the importance of its unanticipated transformations. To resist despotism onboard, Vietnamese fishermen planned their eventual escape, deserted ships, and absconded onto the shores of Trinidad and Tobago. Desertion helped increase immigration control and interior enforcement in Trinidad and propelled the Taiwanese and Vietnamese states to overhaul their migrant labor programs. Studying desertion turns attention toward the concept of ‘revolutionary agency’ and utility and contours of infrapolitics in transnational agrarian political economies.
Food sovereignty and property in Cuba and the United States
Sarah A. Blue Amy Trauger Hilda Kurtz Jason Dittmer
Abstract：Food sovereignty promotes agroecological farming methods and the reduction of food insecurity through changing political relations between people, land and food policy. Market orientations to land and private property in liberal democracies restrict access to food, and thus for food sovereigntists, reframing the social relationship to land through property is key to making food more available. This paper examines the case of usufruct land rights in Cuba as a framework for reworking land rights. We identify key limitations that impair producer autonomy, suggesting how different orientations toward property present unique problems and potential solutions towards the goal of food sovereignty.
Creative farmers and climate service politics in Indonesian rice production
Rhino Ariefiansyah Sophie Webber
Abstract：Providing climate information services to farmers is expected to optimise agricultural outputs amidst increasing climate uncertainty. Consequently, Indonesian governmental and extra-governmental actors provide climate services with the goal of improving productivity and increasing national food security. Existing research about climate-smart agriculture generally, and climate services in particular, presents these projects as largely technical or anti-political endeavours. Here, we analyse how rice farmers, collectively and individually, engage with climate services. We find that farmers ‘play’ with and between the climate service projects, manipulating them in order to subsidise their livelihoods and assert their individual and collective political power across scales.
State property vs. customary ownership: a comparative framework in West Africa
Antoine Dolcerocca
Abstract：This article examines relations between state and customary land claims in Francophone West Africa. This region, despite a broadly common legal heritage at the time of independence, experienced a wide variety of changes at the national scale to the point where these countries now form a full spectrum of statutory/customary relations. After a historical review of rural property rights in Francophone West Africa, this article proposes a typology of State vs. Customary ownership in the region with a focus on four exemplary cases: Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Mauritania.
The rise of Arab Gulf agro-capital: continuity and change in the corporate food regime
Christian Henderson
Abstract：The role of non-Northern capitals within the corporate food system is a matter of increasing debate within food regime literature. This article intervenes on this discussion by proposing that the Arab Gulf states are a new capital within the corporate food system. It argues that the emphasis on the role of the state, which has drawn definitions of mercantilism, has led to the exceptional and reifying treatment of this entrant. As a result, this analytical focus has obfuscated the manner that new capitals such as the Gulf states have acted as a force of continuity, as well as change.
Migration, environmental change and agrarian transition in upland regions: learning from Ethiopia, Kenya and Nepal
Fraser Sugden Likimyelesh Nigussie Liza Debevec Ravic Nijbroek
Abstract：This paper analyses the relationship between cyclical labour migration and agrarian transition in the uplands of Nepal, Ethiopia and Kenya. It shows that while migration decision-making is linked to expanding capitalist markets, it is mediated by local cultural, political and ecological changes. In turn, cyclical migration goes on to shape the trajectory of change within agriculture. The dual dependence on both migrant income and agriculture within these upland communities often translates into an intensifying work burden on the land, and rising profits for capitalism. However, on some occasions this income can support increased productivity and accumulation within agriculture – although this depends on both the agro-ecological context and the local agrarian structure.
