Reorienting new state capitalism to food and agriculture

Abstract: Scholarship on global agri-food regulation would contribute much to new state capitalism debates, which to date largely ignore this field. Contradictions within the global arrangement of corporations, international agencies, national governments and trade architecture governing agriculture in the 1990s set the stage for more robust state roles post-2008. Food price volatility catalyzed neomercantilist policies while, paradoxically, deepening global market relations. States' on-going interventions to manage repriced food offer crucial windows into this paradox of new state capitalism, while centering socioecological dimensions that remain peripheral to new state capitalism debates.
