More-Than-Human Infrastructural Violence and Infrastructural Justice
As a new wave of infrastructure expansion takes place globally, there has been a parallel turn to infrastructure in geographical research. This article responds to recent calls within this research for less human-centred engagement with the infrastructure turn. More specifically, this article aims to destablise anthropocentric discussions about infrastructural violence and infrastructural justice. Using the Chad-Cameroon Pipeline Project as a cas…
Fixing extraction through conservation
We are currently witnessing a global trend of intensifying and deepening relationships between extractive companies and biodiversity conservation organisations that warrants closer scrutiny. Although existing literature has established that these two sectors often share the same space and rely on similar logics, it is increasingly common to find biodiversity conservation being carried out through partnerships between extractive and conservation a…
Plantation crops, plunder and power
Plantation crops, plunder and power is an ambitious, relatively short book that presents a synthesis of aspects of the world history of seven plantation crops. To undertake this, Hancock draws upon
Food politics
Food security is political. The identification of food insecurity and the development and implementation of responses to it are enveloped in layers of politics and power. This politics might not be as readily apparent in emergency situations where broad agreement on the need for a response is evident. But in the everyday governance of food it must not be forgotten that food security is a contested concept. This article offers a preliminary elucid…
The poverty of ‘poverty reduction’
African cotton has been an engine of immiseration. On this the historic record is clear. Since 2002 development policy and decision makers have attempted to treat aspects of this unwelcome condition by focusing official poverty-reduction efforts more explicitly on cotton. While these anti-poverty palliatives have doubtless been well-warranted, the preferred poverty pain relievers have under-performed. This article argues that poverty reduction ef…
When Governance Gets Going
As many new certification systems for commodities have been established over the past decade, scholars have devoted sustained attention to the ways that these multi-stakeholder governance initiatives have transformed the industries in which they were launched. With a few notable exceptions, studies in this area have continued to focus on the development and impacts of new governance mechanisms, and on the sectoral or industrial changes that have …
Food security perspectives and emerging powers in Africa
This review article argues that analyses of the food security implications of emerging powers in Africa could be strengthened through foregrounding the issue of perspective. Researchers working in this area should engage with food security opinion contests, and avoid obscuring these debates moving forward

Governing African cotton and timber through CSR
Private competition to establish new principles and rules to govern the production and exchange of Africa's commodities has intensified. Building on the corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature, this article analyses the implications of this unbalanced and unregulated competition. A case study of competing CSR initiatives in cotton shows that the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) commands relatively more power and less legitimacy than certif…
Historic Relationships Between Cotton and Poverty
This chapter discusses historic relationships between cotton production and poverty south of the Sahara from the colonial era through the 1980s, and stresses the enduring nature of these linkages. To start, an historical narrative of cotton and colonialism is offered that highlights the ideas, institutions and power dynamics that characterized the era of Sub-Saharan Africa’s incorporation into metropolitan spheres as a source of low cost material…
Governing Cotton
This book traces the historic relationships between cotton production, the international cotton trade and poverty south of the Sahara, and assesses various approaches to corporate social responsibilit
