摘要
This article argues that concepts and empirical characterizations of globalization and corporate organization drawn from the international political economy literature must be interrogated critically before being extended to agro-food studies. A brief survey of this literature reveals divergent conceptualizations of globalization and conflicting views of the state. For greater clarity, an ideal-typical taxonomy of world-scale processes and corporate organizational forms is proposed. It is suggested that contemporary global restructuring represents the combined yet uneven interaction of concurrent world-scale processes. This framework is used to discuss the limitations of some recent analyses of the globalization of agro-food systems and offer suggestions for future research.
