- W582767988 abstract "Introduction: The Context of Rural TransformationsThis thematic section addresses transformative processes in property relations and access to resources in what are characterized as rural spaces. Despite thedominance of the neo-liberal reading of globalization that repeatedly endorses an open architecture to the global economy in the name of economic growth and greater equality between north and south, much of the evidence points to quite a different outcome. Contributors to this section, while coming from different but interrelated perspectives, share an interest in key mechanisms whereby transnational-local interaction transforms rural property relations and resource management. Given a common focus on the role of law, these articles demonstrate that first and foremost, transnational interdependencies involve paradoxical conjunctions. For example, international and transnational law, such as conventions of the United Nations, that determine indigenous and international human rights, as well as transnational economic regulations (lex mercatoria) and transnationally operating non-government organizations (NGOs), play an increasingly important role in the direction and intensity of social change. Nevertheless, as this collection shows, transnational law has both intended and unintended effects on rural property. It has a tendency towards homogeneity, while at the same time creating plurality, since the ways in which it transforms or merges with local legal forms of regulating access to scarce resources varies considerably. Each paper in this section, thus, relies on empirical anthropological research to address how transformation of rural property relations is related to transnational projects. The papers also complement one another by emphasizing different but interrelated factors steering these processes, including: transnational legal standardization, development co-operation, neo-evolutionist-neoliberal stereotyping, governance and migration, gender inequality and the resurgence of religion and the re-moralization of property issues. In our introduction, we employ a critical perspective to explore how all of these factors are related to questions of scale, to globalization and to localglobal interactions in order to discuss the general contribution of these articles to the debate on contemporary transformative processes of rural property relations.Paradoxical ConjunctionsOur contributors were asked to discuss how transnationalization and globalization affect property relations and property regimes under specific conditions considered characteristic for rural societies. The rural world is not beyond the reach of transnational agency. But rural spaces are said to share a combination of specific qualities, including food production, landscape amenities, low population density, ecological values and perceived ways of life that both shape rural-transnational interactions and frame our understandings of them. This also holds true for the transformative processes rural property is subjected to, the central topic of this special section. However, when we examine the social science toolkit with which one is expected to develop an understanding of these processes, the paradoxical nature of both the phenomena at hand, and our concepts for understanding them, have given us pause for thought. The boundaries that distinguish rural from urban, imperialism from development, globalization from neo-regionalization, traditional from modern, sociality from civility, modernization from hegemony, civil society from state, sophistication from parochialism and moral economy from immoral capitalism, become harder to distinguish every day. And subsequently, so do the characterizations of events, processes or outcomes. In this introduction, we first explore some of these paradoxes and then discuss the contributions to this section.Problems of Scale: Transnational and GlobalA central paradox involves understanding the processes affecting places where anthropologists do their research (see Escobar 2001). …" @default.
