Commodification of Global Agrifood Systems and Agro-Ecology
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-82050-9 (ISBN)
Commodification of Global Agrifood Systems and Agro-Ecology employs a form of comparative perspective that allows the particular processes of restructuring of agrifood relations in Turkey to be simultaneously distinguished from, yet related to, changes taking place in global power dynamics. Yıldız Atasoy explores agrifood transformation in Turkey with a unique approach that considers a plurality of intertwined normative influences, ontological beliefs, cultural–religious narratives, political struggles and critical–interpretive positions. Based on original research, the book treats changes in food provisioning as an analytical thread capable of uncovering how the normative acceptability of capitalized agriculture and techno-scientific innovation is entangled with processes of class formation, growing inter-capitalist competition and Islamic politics. Such processes, in turn, frame income/wealth generation, landscape management, agro-ecological dynamics and labour practices, as well as the taste and smell of place.
Yıldız Atasoy is professor of Sociology, Associate Member of the School for International Studies and Associate Member of the Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University, Canada. Her books include: Global Economic Crisis and the Politics of Diversity (edited); Islam’s Marriage with Neoliberalism: State Transformation in Turkey; Hegemonic Transitions, the State and Crisis in Neoliberal Capitalism (edited); Turkey, Islamists and Democracy: Transition and Globalization in a Muslim State; and Global Shaping and Its Alternatives (edited).
