The project involves research on the relationship between the State and current processes of globalization of the agricultural and food sector. Literature on this topic has identified a discrepancy between the sphere of State action and the sphere of social and economic activities pertaining to the agricultural and food sector. The latter is increasingly transnational, while the former is still predominantly domestic despite emerging attempts to create new transnational State forms. This gap mandates research on the manners in which the State responds to changes occurring in the sector.

Resumen PDF
​
El proyecto está dirigido a investigar las relaciones entre el Estado y el actual proceso de globalización del sector agroalimentario. La literatura sobre este tema ha identificado una discrepancia entre la esfera del Estado y la esfera de las actividades económicas y sociales pertinentes al sector agroalimentario. Este sector es cada vez más transnacional, mientras que el anterior es todavía predominantemente nacional a pesar de la emergencia de tentativas para crear nuevas formas de Estado transnacional. Esta laguna exige investigar sobre las maneras como el Estado responde a los cambios que ocurren en el sector.
