Beyond the chain
Livelihood upgrading in global production networks
Smallholder engagement in Global Production Networks (GPNs) significantly impacts rural livelihoods in the Global South. We contend that smallholders do not operate like firms, such that previous upgrading concepts are analytically inadequate to address the livelihood complexity of these actors and, therefore, the developmental implications of GPN engagement. We address this limitation through a theoretical agenda that develops the pivotal concep…
Beyond the farm gate
Institutional Investment in Farmland and the Restructuring of Australia’s Macadamia Nut Global Production Network
While the large-scale acquisition of agricultural land by institutional investors has been widely documented, it is less clear how these investments contribute to the restructuring of agri-food global production networks (GPNs). Recent developments in Australia’s macadamia nut industry illustrate a case in which large-scale farmland acquisition and development by institutional investors has consolidated network governance in upstream GPN segments…
Fluid Institutions of Access
Indonesia is the world's largest producer of carrageenan seaweed, the cultivation of which is dominated by household operators and is transforming livelihoods in many coastal communities. Growing demand from the global food processing sector has rapidly transformed Indonesian coastal sea space into a commoditized livelihood resource, where access is governed by emergent, and highly fluid, institutions. Through an extensive ethnographic study in t…
The ebb and flow of capital in Indonesian coastal production systems
The global fisheries sector has undergone both rapid industrialization and considerable resource depletion. Unlike fisheries in the Northern Hemisphere, the Indonesian (and indeed Southeast Asian) sector is still largely dominated by small‐scale producers, who are partially embedded within a subsistence economy. Changes in the nature of production and livelihoods in the fisheries sector appear similar to those in land‐based agriculture but have r…
Remittances and social capital
Social and financial remittances from the Australian Seasonal Worker Programme (SWP) have transformed the livelihood capabilities of participating households from Timor-Leste. Timorese workers generally participate in SWP for a six-month period, with many returning for subsequent seasons. Qualitative, multi-sited research investigated the livelihood strategies of 50 Timorese worker households over a three-year period. Their net earnings averaged …

The Institutional Environment of the Palm Oil Value Chain and Its Impact on Community Development in Kapuas Hulu, Indonesia
The aim of this study is to present the multi-scalar institutional environment that has emerged around the palm oil value chain, and to analyze how this influences community development outcomes in the Kapuas Hulu district of West Kalimantan. A common narrative presented by many environmental organizations, and indeed often reinforced in the academic literature, is one where local communities actively resist the expansion of oil palm plantations …
Collective Action Milieus and Governance Structures of Protected Geographical Indications for Coffee in Colombia, Thailand and Indonesia
In an attempt to capture a greater share of the symbolic value of coffee in the market, some producers have started to safeguard the geographical names of specific origins through Geographical Indications in their home country, and then subsequently registering Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) under European Union (EU) law. To enable effective value capture, such initiatives require successful collective action. We explain how the need fo…
A global production network for ecosystem services
Resource-based industrial policy in an era of global production networks
Processes of industrialisation have long been associated with labour productivity improvements, rising incomes, and ultimately economic and social development. The preferred policy strategy to achieve these development objectives, however, remain intensely debated. A specific policy strategy of resource-based industrialisation (RBI), involving pre-export value addition to raw materials, is frequently pursued by resource-rich countries in the glob…
Processes of Land Appropriation for Large-Scale Oil Palm Development in West Kalimantan, Indonesia/ Processos De Aquisição De Terra Para a Produção De Óleo De Palma Em Kapuas Hulu, Indonésia/ Proses P…
This study examines the processes of negotiation through which agribusiness investors are gaining access to large areas of land for oil palm plantations within the Kapuas Hulu district of West Kalimantan in Indonesia. Kapuas Hulu is at the forefront of current oil palm expansion in Indonesia, making this a revealing case-study of current practices at Indonesia's oil palm frontier. In their book, Powers of Exclusion, Hall, Hirsh and Li. (2011) des…
China and the changing economic geography of coffee value chains
For the past three centuries, the economic geography of the global coffee sector has been characterized by the supply of beans from tropical countries for consumption in North America and Europe, with various modes of value chain coordination enacted by lead firms to ensure reliable and affordable supply. This pattern is now fundamentally changing, with growth in coffee consumption in emerging markets, including China, exceeding that in establish…
Caregiving time costs and trade-offs
Population ageing is putting pressure on pension systems and health care services, creating an imperative to extend working lives. At the same time, policy makers throughout Europe and North America are trying to expand the use of home care over institutional services. Thus, the number of people combining caregiving responsibilities with paid work is growing. We investigate the conflicts that arise from this by exploring the time costs of unpaid …
Examining the interface of sustainability programmes and livelihoods in the Semendo highlands of Indonesia
Voluntary sustainability standards are used as both a means of securing coffee supply by large coffee firms and a development intervention to address rural poverty and environmental management in the Global South. Using a case‐study approach, we have examined the interface between a value‐chain sustainability programme and the livelihood trajectories of smallholder producers in upland Sumatra. Our research found the programme has had minimal impa…

Global production networks, regional development trajectories and smallholder livelihoods in the Global South
Recent advances in global production network theory, known as GPN 2.0, provide a theoretically sophisticated framework for understanding the articulation of global production systems with regional development trajectories. However, this framework was largely derived from lessons out of empirical analyses of the strategic coupling and value capture trajectories of firms in certain manufacturing and service sector 'hot spots', primarily in East and…
Lead Firms in the Cocoa-Chocolate Global Production Network
Recent models of Global Production Network Theory (known as GPN 2.0) have attempted to theoretically explain the underlying determinants, or causal drivers, of particular industry network configurations, which in turn shape the territorial outcomes for regional development. To date, the ability of this ambitious conceptual model to thereby explain economic geography has remained largely untested beyond the select industry networks examined by its…
Time Alone or Together? Trends and Trade-offs Among Dual-Earner Couples, Sweden 1990-2010
In recent decades, the dual-earner couple has become increasingly normative, potentially reducing the time couples and families spend together. The authors investigated how coupled individuals allocated time together, alone, with children, and as a family, exploring changes between 1990 and 2010 in Sweden using three waves of the Swedish Time Use Survey (N = 9,544). Ordinary least squares and decomposition analyses find a trend toward time togeth…
The state and food security discourses of Indonesia
This paper examines the ways in which discourses of food security and food sovereignty are articulated in Indonesia, exploring their emergence within particular historical episodes and considering how this change has informed their current deployment by state-based actors. Looking first to the wider global discourses that encompass perspectives on food security and food sovereignty, this paper attempts to map a specifically Indonesian perspective…

Unplanned development is a critique of development planning and a rallying call for the rejection of deductive reasoning in explaining development trajectories in favour of empirically grounded ind
Chained to Development? Livelihoods and global value chains in the coffee-producing Toraja region of Indonesia
A popular rural development strategy in recent years has been through the adoption of what has been widely called a ‘value chain approach’, where improved linkages between small producers in underdeveloped rural communities and ‘lead firms’ constitute the foundations for development interventions. Whilst the global value-chain framework can deliver insights into the broad structural processes shaping livelihood possibilities, the adoption of valu…

It's About Time! Gender, Parenthood, and Household Divisions of Labor Under Different Welfare Regimes
Having young children generally intensifies gendered patterns of time use. During the 1990s, this pattern changed in several Nordic countries, where welfare state arrangements support gender equality and work-family balance more comprehensively than elsewhere. We investigate the impact of parenthood on men's and women's time use across welfare state regimes, performing ordinary least squares regressions using data from the Multinational Time Use …
Value chains, neoliberalism and development practice
This paper provides a critical analysis of the emergence of an approach within the practice of international development that adopts a ‘value chain’ discourse, and traces the conceptual underpinnings of this discourse and practice through its translation from scholarly literature. This practical application of value chain theory has involved the selective application and interpretation, by development practitioners, of key scholarly ideas on glob…

Global Markets, Farmers and the State
The rapid expansion of cocoa farming among Sulawesi smallholders since 1980 has transformed the island into a hub within the global cocoa industry. It hosts a number of multinational trading firms and has an expanding grinding sector. In recent years, however, the cocoa sector has been struck by severe pest, disease and quality problems, which are undermining the long-term sustainability of one of Eastern Indonesia's most important rural industri…

Re-Traditionalisation of Gender Relations in the 1990s? The Impact of Parenthood on Gendered Time Use in Three Scandinavian Countries
This study investigates the impact of parenthood on gendered time use in Scandinavia. Having (young) children at home generally intensifies gendered patterns in time use, and strengthens the traditional household division of labour, whereby women perform more child care and housework than men. In Sweden during the 1990s, this pattern changed and parenthood affected men's and women's time use in a more similar way by the end of that decade. The ar…

Institutions, the governance of quality and on‐farm value retention for Indonesian specialty coffee
Fluctuating global commodity prices affect the livelihoods of millions of tropical farmers worldwide. In recent years, systemic oversupply of many tropical agricultural products, grown in countries such as Indonesia, has meant that agricultural incomes have continuously fallen below subsistence levels. Within an increasingly open global trade regime, along with the limited ability of governments to protect domestic farm prices, quality‐informed p…
