Abstract

The current agrarian and food crisis in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has been interpreted through a number of tropes. Within the dominant mainstream discourse, the MENA region is often depicted as a homogenous geographical area characterized by dryness, infertile lands and poor water resources. How did imperialism, colonialism and the Cold War influence the MENA food systems? What were the effects of trade liberalization and neoliberalism on the agricultural systems in the region? These are some questions that this paper will try to answer using a geographical and historical-comparative analysis, through a food regimes lens. Understanding contemporary social relations dynamics cannot be limited to the recent period. Agriculture and food in the MENA region are anchored in the history of power relations ruled by flows of capital and the shaping of ecological transformations during the longue durée of capitalism and its corresponding modes of control and regulation.

人为制造的区域危机:全球粮食制度下的中东和北非
目前中东和北非(MENA)的农业和粮食危机可以用许多比喻来解释。在占主导地位的主流话语中,中东和北非地区经常被描绘成一个以干旱、土地贫瘠和水资源贫乏为特征的同质地理区域。帝国主义、殖民主义和冷战如何影响中东和北非的粮食系统?贸易自由化和新自由主义对该地区农业系统的影响是什么?本文将试图通过食物制度的视角,通过地理和历史比较分析来回答这些问题。理解当代社会关系的动态不能局限于最近的时期。中东和北非地区的农业和粮食根植于资本流动所支配的权力关系的历史,以及在资本主义及其相应的控制和监管模式的长期持续期间形成的生态转型。
