In the late-aughts, a surge of transnational investment in farmland became a major driver of land dispossession and concentration, agrarian protest, and ultimately scholarship. Although geographers and other social scientists had studied various forms of land dispossession for decades,1 those who entered the topic through this new wave of transnational farmland investment quickly advanced terms like “the global land grab” or the “the global land rush”, while alarmed NGOs sought to quantify it based on “deals” signed between investors and host governments. Since land grabbing was not, of course, new, such constructions begged the question of what, if any, relationship existed between these transnational investments in farmland qua farmland and other longstanding forms of rural land dispossession for mining, industry, and urban real estate – all of which also appeared to be increasing and changing in character in many regions during the neoliberal period. Then there was the problem of whether all of these transnational farmland “deals” actually involved “grabs”, which implies coercive dispossession. Since many evidently did not and farmers continued to lose land in many other ways, another vein of scholarship pushed back against the growing focus on coercive “land grabs” with the finding that dispossession could be driven by the market (Li 2014; Vijayabaskar and Menon 2018), though the dynamics of this process – land concentration and agrarian differentiation – had already been the bread and butter of “the agrarian question” for over a century (Kautsky 1988; Lenin 1964; Patnaik 1990). Further debates over whether land grabs constituted “primitive accumulation” (Marx 1977) or “accumulation by dispossession” (Harvey 2003) often created

Abstract Global trade is often understood by trade union officials to be an abstract policy-level issue without a direct role for workers or shop floor influence. As the UK establishes an independent trade policy in the wake of Brexit, this article explores the concept of strategic supply chain organizing as the basis for a shop steward-led strategy to counter the industrial impact of trade. Based on interviews with Unite shop stewards and work with the union’s Research Department, this article explores efforts within Unite the Union, the largest private and public sector trade union in the UK and Ireland, to advance such a strategy through the union’s activist shop stewards and democratic structures. While considering the limitations of existing union approaches to trade issues as well as the challenges of developing such a strategy within the context of a large multisector trade union, the article puts forward a methodology of applied industrial research rooted in the principles of workers’ inquiry and supply chain solidarity. Taken together, the article considers the potential for new collaboration between the union’s shop stewards within supply chains to more fully realize their latent collective industrial power.
摘要全球贸易通常被工会官员理解为一个抽象的政策层面问题，对工人或车间没有直接作用。随着英国在脱欧后制定独立的贸易政策，本文探讨了战略供应链组织的概念，将其作为店员领导的战略的基础，以应对贸易对产业的影响。本文通过对Unite商店管理员的采访以及与工会研究部的合作，探讨了英国和爱尔兰最大的私营和公共部门工会Unite the union内部通过工会的激进商店管理员和民主结构推进这一战略的努力。考虑到现有工会处理贸易问题的方法的局限性，以及在大型多部门工会的背景下制定这一战略的挑战，本文提出了一种植根于工人询问和供应链团结原则的应用产业研究方法。总之，这篇文章考虑了工会商店管理员在供应链内进行新合作的潜力，以更充分地实现他们潜在的集体工业力量。
