ABSTRACT We examine user experiences with two innovations introduced into the Ethiopian agri-food system: scaling up chickpea production and use of chickpea in Ready to Use Foods processing. Using qualitative methods grounded in innovation and knowledge system approaches, and drawing from stakeholder interviews, we identify extrinsic and intrinsic factors influencing the success of intervention strategies. Interviews with smallholder farmers reveal several factors influencing chickpea adoption decisions, including agronomic uncertainties, climatic resilience, and access to key inputs. Demonstration projects and knowledge networks encourage adoption. Interviews with agro-processors suggest that ongoing trust issues between stakeholders constrain the use of chickpea.

ABSTRACT After the military dictatorship (1976–1983), the neoliberal offensive in Argentina continued under the newly formed democracy. One of its expressions was the labour reform bills proposed by Alfonsín’s administration during 1986. Such reform mainly sought to limit unions’ right to strike and promote company-level bargaining. These elements added to the broader structural adjustment that had begun in 1985. Here, we analyze the characteristics of this reform and the way in which the government's discourse tried to make it compatible with the new democracy, and reconstruct the elements of the historical process, which led it to failure.

ABSTRACT Market gardening is an important contributor to food security and to the livelihoods of households in sub-Saharan Africa. Women represent an important share of this activity. Our goal in the present article is to draw attention to an overlooked area of the world that echoes many other situations. What is it like being a woman market gardener in Kinshasa? Using a qualitative methodology, we show that this strongly gendered activity is an important opportunity for women. However, they face a multiplicity of threats, intensified by their gender, regarding access to land, possibilities to organize, gender norms, and rights.

RÉSUMÉ Cet article présente les résultats d’une recherche qualitative documentant les pratiques favorables à la rétention et la gestion de carrière au sein des organisations de coopération internationales (OCI) canadiennes. Adoptant une approche féministe intersectionnelle et d’inclusion ainsi que la méthodologie de design-based research, 161 personnes représentant 19 organisations ont été rencontrées. Analysant quatre dimensions liées à la rétention en emploi (demande psychologique, conditions de travail/soutien à la carrière, harmonisation vie personnelle et professionnelle et climat de travail), cet article recense des pratiques porteuses et propose un modèle collaboratif précisant les rôles et responsabilités des différentes parties prenantes (bailleurs de fonds, OCI, associations, universités, etc.).

ABSTRACT Contrary to the optimistic narratives that see in foreign direct investment and global value chains (GVC) potential levers to generate dynamics of strengthened local patterns of industrial development, this article analyses the case of the automotive industry in Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) to demonstrate that local connection to GVCs has rather deepened dysfunctional relationship to globalized production/supply chains and labor degradation. Domestically, Ciudad Juárez’s auto production linkages are fully controlled by transnational corporations underpinning conditions of an export-driven despotic labor regime: sustained long-term wage precariousness, and intensive and exhaustive working conditions inside manufacturing plants.

ABSTRACT This article outlines the visions of Tunisian and Indian dissident political thinkers and agronomists, 1950s–1980s, for decentralised food and farming systems using just technologies. Amidst ascendent US imperialism, these marginalised proposals opposed the Green Revolution model of agrarian development, illustrating broader postcolonial politics of defending political sovereignty and advancing to economic/technological sovereignty. Erasing these dissident voices enabled the legitimisation of the Green Revolution as an ‘inevitable’ way to ensure food security. We argue that recovering this intellectual history is critical to displace the techno-centric Green Revolution narrative, and to inform and support struggles for ecologically attuned alternatives that foreground agroecology.

ABSTRACT This article argues that international development research needs to focus more attention on love, for two reasons. First, to better understand the emotional experiences of poverty, injustice and development, and second, to understand the ways that public policy can shape the capabilities for love. Following analysis of the importance of love for physical and mental health, the article examines areas of public policy in the global North and South that may undermine the capability to love and be loved. The article concludes by highlighting the ways that attention to love may help to humanize international development research and overcome “othering.”

ABSTRACT This article argues that patriarchy expands capitalist accumulation by increasing surplus labour-time, lowering production costs, and dividing and controlling workers. Consequently, patriarchy increases profits, manages intra-capitalist competition, and impedes labour’s capacity to organise. Analysing how it does so can inform counter-strategies. Based on fieldwork in two West Java villages, the article analyses four forms of patriarchal accumulation: (i) reproductive labour underpinned by the ideology of housewifeization; (ii) the gendered production of cheap foodgrains; (iii) the production of street-food that reduces reproduction time and costs; and (iv) the extension of labour-time through low-waged homework squeezed into the rhythms of reproductive labour.

ABSTRACT This article examines the impact of nationwide lockdown on the Indian labour market, restricted to the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result of lockdown, both labour supply and labour demand contracted sharply; moreover, we find evidence of discouraged worker effect. An analysis of the demand side of the labour market shows an unequal impact of lockdown on different segments (region, gender, and caste) of the workforce. There is also a marked deterioration in the quality of employment and wages/income. In this context, we found the policy response of the Union government inadequate and far from satisfactory; as a result, labour market recovery was uneven and stunted.
