摘要：State, Municipalities and Latino Immigrants in the Internationalization of the Circuit of Meat Based on a case study of a meatpacking plant in Lexington, Nebraska, this paper explores some of the "micro-linkages" in the internationalization of the agro-food sector which appear al the local level. Specifically it looks at the process whereby local states, municipalities, and different social classes, find themselves involved in processes which further the globalization of the livestock sector. Secondly, the paper explores the growing tendency, within meatpacking, to mobilize new immigrant labor pools (principally from Mexico and Central America). The final part of the paper considers some of the specific costs that communities like Lexington and latino workers must pay as they participale in the growth of these internationalized industries.
