• The end of the road?: agricultural revolutions in the capitalist World-ecology, 1450-2010 (2010, background): “…1970s, and picking up steam with the debt crises of the early 1980s, the ‘political determination of world agricultural commodity prices [that] emerged through the Uruguay Round negotiations’ and into the WTO-era radically decoupled world market prices from production costs (McMichael 2005, 282).”
• Troubled futures? The global food crisis and the politics of agricultural derivatives regulation (2012, background): “This trend has been reinforced by increased corporate concentration and influence (Bonanno et al., 1994; Magdoff et al., 2000; Clapp and Fuchs, 2009) as well as international trade rules, particularly the WTO agriculture agreement (McMichael, 2000, 2005; Rosset, 2006; Weis, 2007).”
