摘要:The Transnationalization of Agricultural Production: Palimpsest of the Transnational State This paper explores theoretically the emergence of the transnational State. Based on the historical experience of the emergence of the state at the national level fulfilling four major functions - accumulation, legitimation, mediation of inter- and intra-class conflict - and social reproduction, and utilizing empirical research in an agricultural commodity, frozen concentrated orange juice, the paper argues that the increased significance of transnational corporations requires the emergence of a state apparatus beyond the level of the nation. The paper suggests ways and means of looking for such an emergence.
