Designing Collective Action: Problems of Local Water Management in Tiruchi District
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Review of Agrarian Studies. - 2249-4405. ; 1:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A wide range of factors shapes irrigation institutions and collective action with regard to irrigation. They include the distribution of land across irrigation command areas and across classes, land tenure systems, access to new technology such as bore wells, the availability and cost of electricity and other energy sources for lifting groundwater, and, above all, state policies related to irrigation. Participatory irrigation management is hampered severely by policies in irrigation, such as the unregulated use of bore wells with free electricity provided by the state, that most benefit rich farmers. The paper, which is based on fieldwork conducted in Karur and Tiruchirapalli districts in Tamil Nadu in 1980 and in 2005, argues that the rapid and mostly unregulated development of well irrigation without any concomitant change in the legal framework and costing structure, and the lack of an objective basis for all water users to come together in collective action (given their different and often potentially conflicting interests), are the major causes for weakening collective action in irrigation management.

When will the Farmers Unite? The Long Road to Democracy in Rural Thailand
- 2004
-
Ingår i: The Indian Journal of Labour Economics. - 0971-7927. ; 47:3, s. 525-539
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Since the mid 1960s sugar planters in Thailand have formed some of the strongest farmers associations in Asia. Organising practically all sugar planters, these associations have over the years successfully negotiated with sugar mill owners and with the state. They have achieved a system of revenue sharing in the cane and sugar industry which protects them from the vagaries of fluctuations in world market prices. A similar development now seems to take place among rubber planters who, like most farmers in Thailand, were earlier controlled by the government system of farmer organisations. This development is in sharp contrast to the situation of the rice farmers, whose earlier attempts at organising was violently repressed, and who are hardly organised today. Why is it that some of these movements succeeded while others failed? The paper discusses recent movements and organisational changes among Thai farmers in the central plains. Not long ago they were small scale peasants on an expanding land frontier in an authoritarian Buddhist kingdom which after the 1932 revolution turned into military rule. However, after WWII state lead economic development and economic differentiation among the peasantry as well as dramatic political changes have created both economic and political opportunities to organise in various ways but with very different outcomes. The explanation seems to lie both in the kind of farmers recruited, the active agents of mobilization, the ideology and the issues fought, and the way the farmers interacted with the state and other actors at various points in time. Today there seems to be a certain space and potential for the formation of both general as well as crop- and issue- specific farmers associations which can bargain with the state and agro business for collective benefits. This is an indication that the Thai political process is not merely dominated by rent seeking government officials and businessmen turned politicians who buy the votes of the electorate and run the country in the interest of their companies. Indeed, farmers, like all others, are heavily involved in this type of ‘business politics’, but behind that simplified picture a more complex and perhaps more flexible state may be hidden, which as popular mobilisations unfold may emerge into the open.

Barriers Broken. Production Relations and Agrarian Change in South India
- 1990
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book studies agrarian change and the factors which have the potential to control and direct the course of such change. Hence it deals with a fundamental issue which has a direct bearing on poverty. Based on a survey of 367 agrarian households in South India, this book systematically compares two major ecotypes in Indian agriculture: rainfed cultivation and irrigated agriculture. The authors link this ecological analysis to class relations, technology, and patterns of agriarian change, especially after the Green Revolution. They then go on to compare land and labour relations, class structures, credit and usurious relations, and agricultural productivity in these two ecotypes.

Agrarian Change and Social Mobility in Tamil Nadu
- 2008
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is a study of social mobility over 25 years in six villages in the former Tiruchy District in Tamil Nadu. The two most important external drivers are local industrialization and social policy in a broad sense. In a mainly descriptive analysis, it is shown that the overall effect seems to be a centripetal tendency in agrarian structure, with tendencies towards a strengthened position for family farming and for both the topdogs and the underdogs in the old agrarian society to leave agriculture altogether, seeking improved life chances in the non-agrarian economy, both inside the villages and in the wider economy. The descriptive analysis in this article is followed up with a modelling exercise in an accompanying article.
