The “Social Gap” in Biogas-Siting Decisions in Rural North Carolina: Centering Marginalized African American Perspectives
The article investigates African American community views on the development of hog-farm-based biogas production in rural North Carolina. In 2023, five focus groups ( N = 51) were conducted in Sampson County, the site of the first large-scale biogas project in North Carolina. The results suggest a prevalence of a “social gap” in the outlook of the residents, that is, they favored biogas as a source of renewable energy in general but opposed its d…
Disembedded politics: Discourses on Neoliberal Labor Law reforms in Lithuania (2014–2016)
Since regaining its independence in 1991, Lithuania has undergone a process of chaotic privatization in which labor was systematically disempowered, above all, by the targeted erosion of labor rights formally endorsed in the pre-existing Soviet labor code. In the newly legitimized and aggressive pro-business environment of the post-Soviet era, organized labor's residual power was seen as an anachronistic impediment to the power of capital in resh…
Labour markets in a moral crisis: Structural unemployment and the employment service reform in Lithuania
The article analyses the political dynamics of the Employment Service reforms in Lithuania that came into force in 2022. It is argued that the reforms were driven by the outbreak of public alarm over growing and reaching unacceptably high-level structural unemployment. The moral panic approach is used to analyse the process of reform-making. It is argued that the reforms, instead of balancing labour supply and demand, focused on re-imposing moral…
A shift to libertarian paternalism in old‐age income security: Discourses on pension privatization reforms in Lithuania 2016–2018
This study uses news media discourse analysis to investigate the highly contentious process of pension privatization retrenchment in Lithuania. In 2016, Lithuania began debating reforms on restructuring its poorly performing “second pillar” pension scheme – statutory funded individually defined contribution plans managed by the private sector. Pension reform is here conceptualized as a process of discursive contestation of the orthodox neoliberal…
Resurgence of post-crisis neoliberalism: Labor law reform and the return to “business as usual” in Lithuania
The economic crisis of 2008–2010 revealed the extreme vulnerability of Lithuania to global financial shocks. However, instead of reforming Lithuanian capitalism, the domestic political and business elites chose to write off the enormous social and economic costs incurred during the 2008–2010 crisis as an expense of continuing doing business in a way that was typical to the pre-crisis, booming years of ‘the Baltic tigers’ (2000–2007), i.e., relyin…
Labour and Capital Under a Neoliberal Economic Model: Economic Growth and Demographic Crisis in Lithuania
This study investigates the split of national income between labour and capital in Lithuania and its distributional implications. It shows that the neoliberal economic development model embraced by Lithuania since regaining independence in 1991 produced significant economic growth. However, this growth was based on suppressing wages, keeping taxes on capital low and exporting cheap labour to the core EU countries. This resulted in high inequaliti…
The moral discourses of ‘post-crisis’ neoliberalism: A case study of Lithuania’s Labour Code reform
This article problematizes the neoliberal reconfiguration of labour rights in Lithuania, a newer European Union member state, in which the impacts of the global economic and financial crisis were particularly severe and where radical austerity measures were subsequently imposed. Now, after six years, in an attempt to resolve the exhaustion of previous austerity-based solutions for economic recovery, a new Labour Code is being introduced which wil…
Older-age care politics, policy and institutional reforms in Lithuania
This study investigates the dynamics of policy reforms pertaining to care for older adults in post-socialist Lithuania. In the Soviet era social services in Lithuania were in a rudimentary stage of development. By the early 1990s a combination of long-term demographic trends such as ageing, a decline in fertility rates and an increase in divorce rates, and the impact of radical neo-liberal reforms significantly increased the number of older indiv…
Austerity as a global prescription and lessons from the neoliberal Baltic experiment
This article analyses the 2008 economic crisis and its outcomes for the Baltic states. It then gives a genealogy of European economic policy responses to the crisis, tracing them from the emerging ‘freshwater’ school of economics (e.g. University of Chicago) that arose in opposition to Keynesian theory. The more immediate cause of the 2008 crisis, long in the making, was its reliance on private debt to sustain economic demand in light of profit-e…

Conceptualising the Rise of the Rural Community Movement in Lithuania: A Framework for Analysis
Conceptualising the Rise of the Rural Community Movement in Lithuania: A Framework for Analysis This paper develops a framework for analysing the process of rural community development and institutionalisation in Lithuania. The first communal groups were established in rural Lithuania in the late 1990s. Over the last decade the number of such organisations in the country increased to 1,400. Although a very positive development, rapidly growing gr…
Privatisation of state security and policing in Lithuania
This paper examines the dynamics of the privatisation of state security and policing in post-Soviet Lithuania. Two periods in the evolution of the industry, each with its distinct set of actors, dynamics and types of services offered are defined and analysed. In the early 1990s, the private security industry was characterised by competition, coercion and negotiations among private protection organisations (or criminal rackets) and four different …
Rural Intelligentsia and Path Dependency in Post-socialist Civic Organising: The Case of Lithuania
Since the late 1990s the number of rural community development groups in Lithuania has grown exponentially. The article presents the results of one of the first representative surveys of rural NGOs (N = 326) in Lithuania designed to evaluate their structure and resources. Unlike civic organising during the perestroika period, which was characterised by charismatic personalities and organisational innovations, the most recent surge in rural activi…
Rural Marginalization, Policing, and Crime in Lithuania
The paper analyzes the significant increase in rural crime in post‐independence Lithuania (1991–2004). It is argued that the changes in the crime situation in rural areas are associated with the formation of a stratum of post‐socialist rural poor. Three sub‐divisions of the marginalized rural poor are discernible: (1) pauperized post‐socialist peasantry, (2) poor, impoverished, and culturally estranged urban immigrants to rural areas, and (3) mar…
Discourses on rurality in post-socialist news media: The case of Lithuania's leading daily “Lietuvos Rytas” (1991–2004)
Resisting Marginalisation: The Rise of the Rural Community Movement in Lithuania
In the late 1990s the rural community development movement led mostly by educated, professional women emerged in Lithuania. These were loose organizations, typically made up of 5-10 core activists, engaged in mobilizing local communities in dealing with their social, cultural, political and economic problems. It is argued that the rise of the rural community movement represents one of the responses to the post-socialist crisis in agriculture as w…
Changing Typology of Organised Crime in a Post-Socialist Lithuania (the Late 1980s–Early 2000s)
This paper analyzes the dynamics of organised crime in post-socialist Lithuania. Three overlapping periods in evolution of organised crime are discerned. During the mid 1980s organised crime emerged with the attempts to liberalise the state socialism by legalizing cooperative and individual property as a basis for economic activities. By the early 1990s organised crime in Lithuania began to metamorphose from illegal manufacturing to opportunistic…
Work-based Welfare as a Ritual: Understanding Marginalization in Post-Independence Lithuania
The paper analyzes the functioning of the newly created labor exchange in post-Soviet Lithuania. It is argued that the labor exchange in post-Soviet Lithuania operates under the conditions of a structural contradiction: welfare services are designed to reintegrate unemployed into the labor force under the conditions of (a) increasing competitiveness of the labor markets and (b) a rapid decline of employment within the Lithuanian economy. As a res…
The symbiosis of politics and crime in Lithuania
The article argues that since the mid 1990s organized crime in Lithuania has undergone significant transformation. During the early 1990s organized crime was characterized by groups challenging the state in the process of privatization of state property. At this time the most important mode of organized criminal activities was coercion, intimidation and violence. Since the mid 1990s the degree of violence typical to organized criminality has decl…
Manufacturing bacteriological contamination outbreaks in industrialized meat production systems: The case of E. coli O157:H7
Taming Nature, Taming Workers: Constructing the Separation Between Meat Consumption and Meat Production in the U.S
In this article we examine corporate and state actions implicated in manufacturing the extension, and precipitating the collapse, of the fictional distance separating production from consumption in contemporary agro-food systems. We investigate this phenomena via the case of the U.S. beef industry. Specifically, we examine regulatory initiatives and corporate responses aimed at addressing the two most important issues confronting the industry tod…
Negotiating Bacteriological Meat Contamination Standards in the US: The Case of E.coli O157:H7
The paper analyzes changes in bacteriological meat contamination standards in the us since the early 1980s when E.coli O157:H7 was for the first time identified as a new foodborne pathogen associated with the consumption of undercooked meat. Four types of risks, and the standards associated with them, are identified. Up until 1982 meat contamination was ascertained via organoleptic standards. Meat was considered as safe as producers' and/or consu…
Globalization of Agricultural Production and Research: The Case of the Rapeseed Subsector
Etniniai ir politiniai pokyčiai buvusios Sovietų Sąjungos respublikose
The collapse of the USSR resulted in a decline of institutions which had supported the dominance of ethnic Russians throughout the periphery of the country. In their place new institutions and mechanisms have been developed to regulate the access of people of different nationalities to power, resources and prestige. This paper provides a comparative analysis of ethnic transformation in 10 of the 14 successor states of the former Soviet Union. The…
Ethno-political transformation in the states of the former USSR
The collapse of the USSR resulted in a decline of institutions which had supported the dominance of ethnic Russians throughout the periphery of the country. In their place new institutions and mechanisms have been developed to regulate the access of people of different nationalities to power, resources and prestige. This article provides a comparative analysis of ethnic transformation in ten of the fourteen successor states of the former Soviet U…
Beyond political economy: Actor Networks and the Globalization of Agriculture
This article provides a critical assessment of the traditional political economy approaches in analysis of agricultural globalization. The use of the actor network perspective is suggested to enhance our understanding of the globalization process. To illustrate the applicability of actor network theory to political economy studies, the globalization of the Canadian rapeseed (Brassica rapa and B. napus) industry is analyzed. It is shown that the g…

The Production of Knowledge and the Production of Commodities: The Case of Rapeseed Technoscience1
A crucial issue in the theory of technological change-the transformation of knowledge into commodities in agriculture-is examined through the role that technoscience played in the transformation of rapeseed (Brassica campestris and B. napus) from a minor crop used largely for marine lubricants into a major global competitor in edible oil markets. The study is based on a content analysis of the worldwide bibliography of rapeseed. A network approac…
