ABSTRACT The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has made the lives of domestic workers, who are mostly women, more difficult. Building on the testimonies of domestic workers in South Africa collected between January and August 2021, this article examines the everyday violence they face during the pandemic. It argues that everyday violence is greatly amplified during the pandemic, because the virus not only affects domestic workers’ livelihoods, but generates new forms of discrimination at work. The article calls for expanded worker alliances to be built in the informal sector to push back against everyday violence and reduce workers’ vulnerabilities.

ABSTRACT This paper examines economic outcomes and aspirations of land oustees at a PSU’s land acquisition site in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh (India). Despite more heterogenous economic outcomes based on land acquisition experiences and caste positioning, land oustees have a common aspiration for employment in the urban economy. The resilience of this common aspiration despite the uncertainty of commensurate economic outcomes points to a shared culture of aspirations that recognizes development in terms of non-agrarian futures. While lower-caste land oustees experience circumscribed economic mobility, the process of land acquisition facilitates an expansion in their capacity to navigate the future.

ABSTRACT Egypt’s extensive system of food subsidies has been subject to critique. While reviews focused on the system’s inefficiency, little attention has been given to how target beneficiaries in rural areas perceived food subsidy programs prior to the implementation of the 2014 food subsidy reform. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the aftermath of the 2011 uprisings until 2014 in the village of Al-Ab`adiyya Wālī Mizār in Fayyūm, Egypt, and drawing infrastructures as power-laden systems of inclusion and exclusion, this article points to the sense of entitlement associated with the food subsidy system among Egypt’s rural poor despite its precariousness.

ABSTRACT This paper investigates public policies implemented in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali and Senegal to support the agricultural growth pole model. We critically assess assumptions regarding expected positive spillover effects through vertical coordination and tenure formalisation. Using a comparative analysis based on a typology informed by public economics, we show that policies centre on tax exemptions and land tenure, providing only limited support to coordination of actors along the value chain – through agricultural extension services or access to funding. The ongoing implementation of agropoles in West Africa, therefore, exacerbates the risk of the model, bearing negative impacts for smallholders.

ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of access to formal credit on rice productivity by capturing gender differences. To that end, an endogenous switching regression model and the Oaxaca and Blinder decomposition are estimated. The paper makes use of the intra-agricultural household data from the 2018 Harmonized Survey on Household Living Conditions of Togo, with 12,478 rice plots. The results reveal that the average rice productivity of male plot managers is about 53.0% higher than that of women. The State would gain by developing policies of membership in a peasant organization and inclusive education for females.

ABSTRACT This article applies historical research with cross-disciplinary analysis to investigate some “lost” stories of Canadian engagement in China’s first multilateral development-aid project in 1981–1988. Policy reflection on bilateral relations can benefit from expanding recognition of some early Canadian experiences marginally examined in this significant case of Development Diplomacy within a Chinese context. Almost forgotten, these collaboration practices yet started when a small team of Canadian agricultural specialists provided three years of consulting service to this Northern Pasture and Livestock Development project co-funded by the IFAD. Our archival inquiries create refreshing lessons for international development-aid initiatives that advocate community-based, multiple-stakeholders collaboration for restoring bilateral relations.

ABSTRACT In the academic and political debate about land grabbing and agroindustrial transformations in the neoliberal food regime effects on labour are neglected. In response to this gap, this paper focuses on labour, unions, their bargaining power and struggles in these transformation processes. Empirically, I analyse the effects of the transformation of the sugarcane sector in the state of São Paulo between 2002 and 2016 by applying the power resource approach. The analysis shows that these processes had mainly negative effects on the rural working class such as increased unemployment, a loss of associational power or less collective struggles; new power resources could not compensate for this.

ABSTRACT In this introduction to the Special Issue on ‘Labour unions in the Global South in times of neoliberalism’, we argue that trade unions have emerged from a historical specific context, i.e. a specific setting of relations of production. We understand trade unionism not as a fixed institutional and organizational form, but as a tool that provides manifold possibilities of adaption. Studying the forms it takes and the processes of its adaption, also outside its milieu of historical origin, allows us to widen our understanding of the organization and mobilization of workers worldwide, including those who do not work in secured forms of wage labour.
