Orden global, agricultura contractual y campesinado: el circuito tabacalero de la provincia de Misiones, Argentina (1990-2012)

Abstract

Global order is synonymous with local disorder. The purpose of this paper is to study the dialectic between global and local order in Burley's tobacco circuit in Misiones province (Argentina), between 1990 and 2012. This study is based on a detailed analysis of the literature and information provided by public and private agencies. The new local social and territorial organization patterns are described based on scientization of agricultural labor, the subordination of peasants -through contract farming- via transnational agribusiness, and public policies functional to big tobacco dealers
