How Ecologically Uneven Developments Put the Spin on the Treadmill of Production
The treadmill of production concept can be significantly enriched if it is incorporated into a world-systemic approach to the economic/ecological/political processes that development around dominant nations’ strategies for access to the raw materials that the treadmill requires that they consume at exponentially expanding rates
The Economic Ascent of China and the Potential for Restructuring the Capitalist World-Economy
The economic ascent of China in the past two decades is the most dramatic change in the capitalist world-economy of this period. Analyses focus on changes in government control of the economy, the availability of low cost workers for export production, the historical characteristics of Chinese economy and society, and the role of the Chinese government as a developmental state. All highlight key parts of China s economic ascent, but none addresse…
Os fatores espaciais e materiais da produção e os mercados globais
Many authors have attempted to incorporate the local into the global.However, understanding the expansion and intensification of the social and material relations of capitalism that have created and sustain the dynamic growth of the world-system from the local to the global requires analysis of material processes of natural and social production in space as differentiated by topography, hydrology, climate, and absolute distance between places. In…
Matter, Space, Energy, and Political Economy
Many authors have attempted co-incorporate the local into the global. World-systems analysis, though, is rooted in processes of production, and all production remains profoundly local. Understanding the expansion and intensification of the social and material relations of capitalism that have created and sustain the dynamic growth of the world-system from the local to the global requires analysis of material processes of natural and social produc…
Generative sectors and the new historical materialism
Da castanha-do-pará ao ferro
The study comprises the trajectory of the regional production both of the iron ore as well as Brazil nut, extractives products of the Brazilian Oriental Amazonia. It indicates that the mining activities became a important economic activities, once the Brazil nut had lost its economic expression. The study argument that such differentiated trajectories have linked concerning the fact that the Brazil nut extraction being not susceptible to the tech…
International Inequality in the Age of Globalization
This paper shows how Japanese ?rms and the Japanese state constructed a development model based on the steel industry as a generative sector that drove Japan s economic ascent in the world-historical context of U.S. hegemony. We make three arguments in this paper. First, there is a new model of capital accumulation that does create new forms of social inequality by redistributing costs and bene?ts in very di?erent ways than earlier models. Second…

Joint Ventures em ambientes frágeis
By examining the recent changes in the aluminum world trade structure this article emphasizes the Japanese strategies to secure the access to this metal, the effects of such strategies on the Brazilian Amazon region, and their consequences for the world aluminum industry. It examines how the specific environmental and physical characteristics of the aluminum and of the sites its exploitation influence its profitability and turns competitive its e…
Raw material and the global economy
Many proponents of industrial ecology have asserted that the declining volume of raw materials used per unit of gross national product (GNP) constitutes a process of dematerialization.”; They have suggested that this process could allow continued growth in production and wealth while attenuating adverse impacts on the environment. Dematerialization, however, has been a central strategy for reducing production costs since before the beginnings of …
Restructuring Markets, Reorganizing Nature
Theorists of hegemony combine a concern with the causes of war and peace with questions of dominant trade regimes. While this combination addresses issues of central importance for studies of international relations, it may somewhat confound the role of hegemony studies within a world systems perspective. The power of the world systems perspective lies in the consideration of entire worlds, not simply as the appropriate unit of analysis, but as i…

Peasants against State
Stephen Bunker challenges the image of peasants as passive victims and argues that coffee growers in the Bugisu District of Uganda, because they own land and may choose which crops to produce, maintain an unusual degree of economic and political independence. Focusing on peasant struggles for market control over coffee exports in Bugisu from colonial times through the reign and overthrow of Idi Amin, Bunker shows that these freeholding peasants a…

The Politicized Market Economy
Modes of Extraction, Unequal Exchange, and the Progressive Underdevelopment of an Extreme Periphery
The demographic, ecological, and infrastructural effects of extractive economies differ significantly from those of productive economies. Analysis of underdevelopment in extractive export economies requires time-lagged models of the cumulative effects of the sequence of local modes of extraction organized in response to world-system demands. Such a model, organized aroud the predominance of specific commodities at different times, is derived from…

Developing the Amazon
Center-local struggles for bureaucratic control in Bugisu, Uganda
Various recent studies of East African politics imply a unilinear tightening of state control over national populations. This paper addresses an alternative proposition, that freeholding peasant groups may achieve considerable power in relation to the state if they produce goods that are important to the state's export strategies. I examine cyclical struggles beween local-level associations and the national state for control of coffee marketing i…
Peasants against the State
Ideologies of intervention
Opening ParagraphWhere peasant production predominates in the national economy, the state is faced with a difficult dilemma. It must derive its revenues from cash crops, but if it appropriates too much, it will drive peasants out of the cash market and into subsistence (Hyden, 1980; Bunker, 1983b). Many African states have attempted to resolve this dilemma through direct contrôl of crop markets (Bates, 1981). Market control in peasant economies, …

Collaboration and Competition in Two Colonization Projects
The development of efficient and honest bureaucracies has long been a central concern in studies of organizations, but there is little theory to explain the emergence of corruption in bureaucracies. Analyses of this type of corruption in underdeveloped countries have frequently attributed causation to particular political, cultural, or social-structural factors, without taking into account different degrees of corruption in highly different frame…

Class, Status, and the Small Farmer
In this essay, contrasting processes of class formation are related to the relative success and failure of rural development programs in two dependent countries, Uganda and Brazil. I explain why government programs aimed at transforming peasants into small farmers integrated into a market economy have much greater chances of success when local middle classes mediate the interaction of peasants with imposed capitalist institutions than when these …

Policy Implementation in an Authoritarian State
The Brazilian government's plans to build the Transamazon Highway from the Atlantic coast to the Peruvian border and to settle thousands of landless peasants along it created intense debate before the project's precipitous beginning. Critics of the road “that went from nowhere to no place” denounced it as economic folly, while champions of “national integration” saw it as a crucial step toward the economic and geopolitical unification essential t…
