Global Integration and Subsistence Insecurity

Abstract: Global integration heightens the cyclical crises of capitalism by incorporating the subsistence sectors of advanced and peripheral economies. World trends show a contraction in industrial production; the rise of unemployment, an increase in military spending and decline in social welfare, a reversal of capital flows from developing countries to developed economies, and a worldwide drop in real wages. The impact of these trends on communities in Mexico, Bolivia, and the United States where the author has done f… Show more

“…First, it leads one to question the degree to which meaningful environmental benefits can be achieved through conservation activities at the agricultural frontier and, for that matter, in many other local contexts in the developing world, when economic policies and trends at broader regional, national, and international scales overwhelmingly contribute to inequitable and unsustainable patterns of resource use (Reed, 1992;Nash, 1994;Barbier, 2000; UK Department for International Development [DFID], 2000;Easterly, 2001;Klepeis & Vance, 2003;Gwynne & Kay, 2004). The same applies to the more contemporary, integrated conservation and development projects (ICDPs) that seek to provide community economic benefits in conjunction with conservation activities.…”

“…Marxists typically assume that political and economic domination structure and organize social life in ways that have penetrating consequences for individuals, including the family forms they adopt, the alliances they enter into, and the ways they make sense of their fates (e.g., Godelier 1977;Williams 1977;Rosebeny 1989;Wolf 1982). Their work focuses on the expansion of capitalism and its impacts on peasant, pastoralist, gatherer-hunters, and other political economies, narrowing their focus further by examining the relations of power and resistance that accompany political and economic dislocation and displacement (Nash 1994;Roseberry 1983;Scott 1985;Stoler 1985;Sider 1987). These studies illustrate that the social conditions of displacement encourage the formation of leadership and the critical examination, by those displaced, of the processes and institutions that displaced them.…”

“…Market pressures encroaching on Pearl Lagoon and migration to remote communities can affect consumption levels. Conservationists worry that market pressures in Caribbean Nicaragua are affecting green turtle harvests to a degree that is most likely too high and no longer sustainable (Nash 1994;Campbell 2003;Lagueux et al 2005;Lagueux et al 2009). In Tortuguero, Costa Rica, however, nonparametric regression models on the green turtle rookery indicate an increase of 417% in nesting between 1971(Troëng & Rankin 2004.…”
