- Title
AGRICULTURE AND THE STATE SYSTEM.
- Authors
Friedmann, Harriet; McMichael, Philip
- Abstract
Beginning with a theoretical and empirical critique of the prevailing 'ideal' development model of complementary intersectoral linkages between agriculture and industry, a fresh perspective on the historical impacts of agriculture on the global state system, based on the concept of 'food regime', is developed. The nineteenth century process of national-state formation is seen as a systemic process in which settler states and their agriculturalists provisioned the growing European working classes and became the basis of a new type of trade within a new international order. Late twentieth century agriculture is conceptualized in terms of an intensive system in which consumption relations have been reconstructed as part of the process of capital accumulation and of the growing power of capital undercutting state policies directing agriculture to national ends.
