Capital’s Food Regime: Class Struggle, the State and Corporate Agriculture in India: Studies in Critical Social Sciences / New Scholarship in Political Economy, cartea 306/30

Autor Jostein Jakobsen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 dec 2024
Capital’s Food Regime: Class Struggle, the State and Corporate Agriculture in India analyses how India is being integrated into the global food regime at the current conjuncture, and with what consequences for the country’s classes of labour.

The book is an in-depth study of agrarian transformations in contemporary India through the lens of food regime analysis. While the food regime approach has emphasized global-scale studies, this book breaks new ground in downscaling the approach to account for specific historical-geographical cases. The book thus develops an innovative Marxist approach to food regime analysis that challenges prevailing scholarly accounts in agrarian studies and beyond.
