The next Great Trek? South African commercial farmers move north

This paper analyses the shifting role of South African farmers, agribusiness and capital elsewhere in the Southern African region and the rest of the continent. It explores recent trends in this expansion, and investigates the interests and agendas shaping such deals, and the ideologies and discourses of legitimation employed in favour of them. While for the past two decades small numbers of South African farmers have moved to Mozambique, Zambia and several other countries, this trend seems to be undergoing both a quantitative and a qualitative shift. Whereas in the past their migration was largely individual or in small groups, now it is being more centrally organised and coordinated, is more frequently taking the form of large concessions for newly formed consortia and agribusinesses, and is increasingly reliant on external financing through transnational partnerships. By early 2010, the commercial farmers' association Agri South Africa (AgriSA) was engaged in negotiations for land acquisitions with the governments of 22 African countries. This essay is the product of a scoping study to document and analyse major land acquisitions by South African farmers and agribusinesses, and the processes through which these have occurred and are occurring. It considers the changing character, scale and location of South African investments elsewhere in the region and the continent, and focuses specifically on the AgriSA-Congo deal (the largest deal concluded thus far), and acquisitions by the two South African sugar giants, Illovo and Tongaat-Hulett, for outgrower and estate expansion elsewhere in the region. The study addresses the degree to which South Africa is no longer merely exporting its farmers, but also its value chains, to the rest of the continent – and what this means for trajectories of agrarian change. It questions how we might understand the growing trend of ‘intra-regional land grabbing’ and, in the cases discussed, suggests that South African-based companies are acting as arteries of global capital.     

我国农村信贷资金供给不足的探讨

社会管理创新背景下我国人民调解制度的发展与完善

人民调解制度是我国传统调解制度长期发展的产物,是化解社会矛盾纠纷、维护社会稳定的"第一道防线",在国际上享有"东方一枝花"的美誉。但是,随着我国国情的发展变化和新型社会矛盾纠纷的不断出现,目前人民调解制度存在适用范围不够明确、法律效力不强、队伍整体素质不高和经费严重短缺等问题。在我国社会管理创新背景下,人民调解制度需科学界定其适用范围,进一步增强人民调解协议的法律效力,创新人民调解工作机制,多措并举解决人民调解经费和构建"大调解"工作体系,以此促进人民调解制度价值和功能的实现。

风险投资组织形式的比较与选择

现有有关风险投资的研究多从风险投资家的作用、风险投资的契约形式、投资评估及决策程序、退出方式等角度进行阐述,很少对风险投资机构这一投资主体进行研究.然而不同的组织形式具有不同的效率,不同的国家和地区根据自身情况选择了不同的组织形式.影响风险投资组织形式选择的因素主要有资金来源、法律因素和政府扶植状况.鉴于我国有关法律与制度还不完备,我国现阶段应以公司制为主.可通过实行专家聘任制、经理人回报制度及引入阶段性投资机制解决现有公司制中存在的问题.

Feeding finance: a critical account of the shifting relationships between finance,food and farming

Abstract

Whether in the form of commodity index funds, farmland investment funds or commodities trading by agri-food companies, there is evidence of an increasingly close relationship between finance, food and agriculture. While these developments have received some critical attention of late, existing accounts of the ‘financialization of food’ are limited to the extent that they view finance as an external force with emphasis placed on the unnaturalness of its relationship with agriculture and its distortive effects on agricultural markets. Recognizing that finance and agriculture have a long history, this paper offers a more nuanced account of the place of financialization in the agricultural sector. Specifically, it examines how agriculture's emergence as an investment opportunity has reconfigured the terrain of agricultural interests and logics while creating new knowledge demands and agricultural visibilities. These dynamics are explored through a case study of the role of finance and processes of financialization in the recent demise of the Canadian Wheat Board as a state marketing agency. Through this discussion, the paper offers valuable insights into not only the reworking of agriculture as a particular type of financial space, but also the nature and limits of financialization itself as a way of engaging with the world beyond urban financial centres.
