Gendered Dynamics of Rural Livelihood Diversification: Tea Farmers in the Black Sea Region of Turkey
This study examines the gendered dynamics of rural livelihood diversification in tea farming communities in Rize, Turkey, with the onset of neo-liberal policies. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the research explores how migration, access to education, and land ownership intersect with the unique characteristics of tea farming, such as its seasonal harvest cycle and labour-intensity, to shape gendered labour division. It highlights how migration i…
The social reproduction of natural resource extraction and gendered labour regimes in rural Turkey
In recent decades, rural livelihood has been restructured dramatically in the Global South as a result of neoliberal transformations such as the removal of state subsidies for small‐scale farmers, privatization of agricultural state economic enterprises, rising control of global agribusiness firms on agricultural production, expropriation of rural commons and private farmland for mega‐investments in natural resources. Under the Justice and Develo…
Global food insecurity as a crisis of social reproduction for the classes of labour
In this essay, I argue that the ongoing global food crisis, beyond a conjunctural price increase, is an expression of the structural crisis of social reproduction experienced by the classes of rural labour in the Global South. By interrogating the reports and policy recommendations of international organizations on global food insecurity, the essay focuses on the internal relationship between the crisis of social reproduction for the classes of l…
Extractivism and Labour Control: Reflections of Turkey's 'Coal Rush' in Local Labour Regimes
This study analyses labour processes and local labour control strategies in the extractive industries and regions as the reflections of state-capital-labour-nature relations. I argue that, for the analysis of labour control in extractive industries, there is a need to pay attention to (i) the significance of the natural resource for global capital accumulation processes and for the development policies of the state; (ii) the formation of the loca…
Child Poverty and Youth Unemployment in Turkey
This article investigates the nature, causes, and consequences of child poverty and youth unemployment in Turkey, which is a transition country between the East and the West. It is argued that this in‐betweenness leads to a gap between the intended goals and outcomes of relevant policies. The article places a special emphasis on how the post‐1980 neoliberal turn has shaped the policy orientation of successive governments, and transformed the natu…
Role of precariousness and space on class formation process: The case of Antalya's tourism workers
The effects of precariousness, as a product of the neoliberal transformation of the labour markets, go beyond the workplace to become a factor of everyday life, and as such can be regarded as a constitutive factor in the formation of a working class within the neoliberal context. Despite having similar experiences under precariousness, it would appear that tourism workers in Antalya do not develop a class consciousness, and as such do not constit…
