From Silver to Cocaine
latin america has been actively engaged in global trade since a Genoese sailor with Portuguese cartographic and navigational skills and experience sailing to Africa on Spanish ships partially financed by Italian bankers reached what would be known as the ''New World.'' A German named the new continent America, after a Florentine who wrote in Latin. Although today many observers of the world economy are fascinated by a package of transformations k…
Global commodity chain analysis and the French filière approach
This article reviews two approaches to the study of economic restructuring which focus on commodity-specific dynamics of change. The first is the global commodity chain (GCC) approach, which has been developed primarily for the analysis of industrial commodities.The second is the francophone filière tradition, which has been applied mostly to agricultural commodities originating from former French colonies. The article finds that the GCC approach…
Globalisation' and African export crop agriculture
It is commonly agreed that Africa has become increasingly marginalised within the current global economy. However, there are few existing attempts to identify the precise contours of this marginalisation or to explicate the dynamics giving it a precise shape. Against the background of a discussion of theoretical entry points to this problem, as well as of some of its broad quantitative dimensions, this article attempts to develop working hypothes…

Farm Implements for Small-Scale Farmers in Tanzania
CCM CFW DAD0 DANIDA DMOplanning process in developing countries.The relevance of planning which is not based on actual knowledge of real conditions, but rather on assumptions and unrealistic hopes, we believe is an important impediment to progress.The material presented on farm implements in this report may also be of interest from the perspective that it was collected at a time, the second half of 1983, when Tanzania was experiencing its peak cr…

Food policy and production in Mozambique since independence
Mozambique's food crisis is one of the most disastrous in Africa. Undeniably a result of systematic South African destabilisation, and made worse in the last years by drought, it has its origins in the colonial structure of agriculture and the shock of the sudden Portuguese exodus at Independence. But the paper explores, as Frelimo's 1983 Fourth Congress did, whether policy choices have not made matters worse. Attention is drawn to the last few y…
Djurfeldt's 'What Happened to the Agrarian Bourgeoisie and Rural Proletariat under Monopoly Capitalism?' A Comment
I found this one of the most interesting and thought-provoking articles I have read for some time. It is the first Marxist analysis I have seen (there may be others) which comes directly to terms with actual developments in the agricultural sectors of most advanced industrial countries. That is to say, it tries neither to cram this development into what is commonly conceived to be the Marxist 'model' (development of fully capitalist enterprises i…
Agrarian Crisis and Economic Liberalisation in Tanzania
The article by Michael F. Lofchie on 'Agrarian Crisis and Economic Liberalisation in Tanzania', published in this Journal, Vol. XVI, No. 3, September 1978, pp. 451-75, has already aroused considerable comment and raises a number of points of substantial general interest. It is, however, to my mind, somewhat misleading in several respects. Few, I think, would now dissent from the very general proposition that agricultural policies in the period up…
Rural differentiation and class-formation in Tanzania
The article looks at various specific processes of differentiation in rural Tanzania and attempts to relate these to the overall emergence of classes within the Tanzanian social formation and to its incorporation within the international capitalist system. After a brief introduction and outline of some important aspects of the Tanzanian economy and political structure, and a still briefer discussion of 'Chayanovian' proposals about an undifferent…
Ujamaa and rural socialism
Tanzania's policy of Ujamaa Vijijini aimed at bringing peasant producers together in villages for co‐operative production. At first the policy was voluntaristic, stressing that the peasants themselves should initiate, control and run their villages. More recently the ‘frontal’ approach has resulted in administrative coercion and compulsory villagization. Some of the problems of rural planning and ujamaa implementation are closely connected with t…
