South-South Cooperation and Neoliberal Hegemony in a Post-aid World
The current iteration of South-South Cooperation (SSC) differs fundamentally from the first manifestation in the early 1970s, largely because of differences in assumptions about who is cooperating with whom and to what end, in the context of SSC. These differences are significant for the material practice of SSC and the ideological function of SSC rhetoric. In this article, the authors argue that contemporary ideas about SSC do not retrieve the r…
Does sub-Saharan Africa need capitalist philanthropy to reduce poverty and achieve food security
There is a whole range of motivations behind giving – from ‘a love of humankind’ and a desire to promote human ‘well-being’ to political and ideological motivations. These motivations vary across t
The Politics of Philanthropy and Welfare Governance
Capitalist Philanthropy and Hegemonic Partnerships
Over the past 10 years individual capitalists have become increasingly involved in philanthropy, setting up charitable foundations targeted at helping to reduce social problems such as poverty, disease and food security. This form of neoliberal capitalist philanthropy is both politically and ideologically committed to market-based social investment through partnerships, to make the market work or work better for capital. The new structures of phi…
Social Justice and Development
Resettlement, Rights to Development and the Ilisu Dam, Turkey
A cursory attempt to measure the extent of displacement over the past two decades indicates significant increases in conflict-induced displacement and displacement resulting from development projects. At the same time a growing opposition to the latter form of displacement has raised questions over its legitimacy through a variety of media, including public campaigns and protests. This article focuses on some of the challenges that this presents …

Contract farming and environmental risk
This article presents a case study of contract farming, environmental degradation and productivity decline. Polly Peck International's involvement in citrus production in North Cyprus provides an exemplary case of the restructuring of production relations based on contract farming. The study shows how contract terms differ depending on farmers' access to key resources such as water, both reflecting and accentuating social differentiation. Only la…

Agrarian reform and land use policy in Turkey
Cash Crop Production and the Process of Transformation
The state aided commercialization of the small farm is the focus of this paper. In theory, subsidies and price support policies are intended to give small farms access to capital inputs to encourage cash crop production. However, only larger holdings can afford to take advantage of state interventionist policies and profit thereby. State subsidies have now become an integral part of the production process. The unit of analysis is the household, v…
