This study uses the tuna-dolphin controversy arising from the 1973 Marine Mammal Protection Act to throw light on the increasing effects of globalisation on agricultural and food production. It shows how quite small groups can affect legislation that changes the way corporations do business.

Stories of Globalization

Stories of Globalization

Alessandro Bonanno; Douglas H. Constance

Pennsylvania State University Press
2008
sidottu
The economic and social outcomes of mid-twentieth-century Fordist capitalism were characterized by a decrease in the significance of distance and a shift in the dynamic of time. This “time-space compression” is one of the defining components of contemporary globalization. In their latest collaboration, Alessandro Bonanno and Douglas Constance provide an in-depth analysis of the origins and nature of globalization using the context of the agro-food sector, one of the most globalized socioeconomic sectors in the world.Breaking from widely used methodologies in the study of globalization, Bonanno and Constance argue that the shifting dynamic of space and time has created a new capitalism that is qualitatively different from capitalism inspired by patterns of international relations established throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book provides an extensive and original review of existing literature and is centered on eight specific case studies. Through the analysis of these “stories of globalization,” the authors examine how the origins of and interactions between transnational corporations, groups that resist these organizations, and the state have given birth to a contemporary understanding of globalization. They use this new understanding to analyze globalization as a contested terrain in which the power of transnational corporations is affected by mounting opposition and internal contradictions.

Small Farms

Small Farms

Alessandro Bonanno

Routledge
2019
sidottu
Why do small farms continue to coexist with ever-larger farming operations in advanced Western societies? Through a thorough case study of Italy and a comparative analysis of small farms in the United States, Dr. Bonanno seeks to answer this question, exploring the complex relationships among farm family members’ ideology and behavior, the small farm economic sector, and the interaction of small farms within the relevant spheres of society. He finds that, at the structural level, a lack of occupational alternatives and contradictions within both labor and land markets often force farmers to retain marginal farms despite personal dissatisfaction. At the ideological level, many farm families display deep attachment to the agrarian way of life and cite this as a fundamental reason for not leaving the farm for other work. Dr. Bonanno also analyzes the role of small farms within the social system and concludes that they serve a legitimative function. This legitimative role fosters contradictions within the social and economic systems that the state is unable to resolve, thus contributing to the continuation of a dual structure in agricultural development-Ö¾large and very large farms at one end of the scale and marginal but persistent small farms at the other.

The Legitimation Crisis of Neoliberalism

The Legitimation Crisis of Neoliberalism

Alessandro Bonanno

Palgrave Macmillan
2017
sidottu
This book proposes a theory of the legitimation crisis of neoliberalism. Through analyses of the legitimation crisis of regulated capitalism and the characteristics and theories of neoliberalism, the author contends that neoliberalism is affected by crises of system and social integration. The crisis of system integration refers to the inability of market mechanisms to address problems of capital accumulation and social stability. The crisis of social integration refers to the unmet promises of economic growth and social well-being. While attempts to address these crises are carried out through state intervention, crisis resolutions are inadequate due to the limits of the free market system and current state forms. Alessandro Bonanno contends that, as ideological and material forms of legitimation are inadequate, and processes of capital accumulation are sluggish and resistance weak, change is necessary. He outlines how this change will be controlled by corporate actors, minimally address the demands of subordinate groups, and marginally alter existing conditions.

The Contradictions of Neoliberal Agri-Food: Corporations, Resistance, and Disasters in Japan

The Contradictions of Neoliberal Agri-Food: Corporations, Resistance, and Disasters in Japan

Kae Sekine; Alessandro Bonanno

West Virginia University Press
2016
nidottu
Employing original fieldwork, historical analysis, and sociological theory, Sekine and Bonanno probe how Japan’s food and agriculture sectors have been shaped by the global push toward privatization and corporate power, known in the social science literature as neoliberalism. They also examine related changes that have occurred after the triple disaster of March 2011 (the earthquake, tsunami, and meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor), noting that reconstruction policy has favored deregulation and the reduction of social welfare. Sekine and Bonanno stress the incompatibility of the requirements of neoliberalism with the structural and cultural conditions of Japanese agri-food. Local farmers’ and fishermen’s emphasis on community collective management of natural resources, they argue, clashes with neoliberalism’s focus on individualism and competitiveness. The authors conclude by pointing out the resulting fundamental contradiction: The lack of recognition of this incompatibility allows the continuous implementation of market solutions to problems that originate in these very market mechanisms.

Alessandro Manzoni LA RIVOLUZIONE FRANCESE

Alessandro Manzoni LA RIVOLUZIONE FRANCESE

Raffaele Astrua

Lulu.com
2018
nidottu
La Rivoluzione francese del 1789 e la Rivoluzione italiana del 1859, saggio comparativo di Alessandro Manzoni: e il titolo originale di quest'opera del grande scrittore italiano, edita postuma e non rivista dall'autore. La mancata diffusione e conoscenza di questo studio dipendono certamente, oltre che dal suo essere incompleto, dal contenuto esplicitamente avverso alla Rivoluzione francese e ai cambiamenti che essa ha portato nella Storia. Episodi chiave, come quello della presa della Bastiglia, vengono correttamente ridimensionati e demitizzati dall'acuta analisi di Manzoni, maestro nell'applicare il metodo scientifico all'indagine storica, e lucido osservatore della presunzione e della fragilita umana. La nuova edizione, che riporta in appendice sia la Dichiarazione d'indipendenza degli Stati Uniti d'America sia la Dichiarazione dei Diritti dell'Uomo e del Cittadino, si e arricchita di numerose note esplicative, per meglio conoscere personaggi, luoghi e vicende citate da Manzoni.

Alessandro Manzoni, Two Plays

Alessandro Manzoni, Two Plays

Alessandro Manzoni

Peter Lang Publishing Inc

-I would have gone down on my knee before him if we were allowed to worship men.- With these words Giuseppe Verdi described his first impulse upon meeting Alessandro Manzoni in Milan in June 1868. Many readers are familiar with Manzoni's great novel, "The Betrothed (I Promessi Sposi)," the work that elicited Verdi's extravagant reverence for its author. Before turning to write a novel, however, Manzoni composed two plays, "The Count of Carmagnola" (1820) and "Adelchi" (1822). Both plays broke free of the constraints of the neo-classical stage, and embraced the spirit of the new Romantic drama. "Alessandro Manzoni, Two Plays" makes these tragedies available in a fresh English translation."
