2007.

Summary/Abstract

The scholars of the South Asian politics have tended to take a one-dimensional view in national formations in Bangladesh, that is, identity formation is seen as either instrumental or primordial. Relying on the conceptual framework of social formation, this article argues that `Bengali' and `Muslim' are complementary. Group solidarity itself is seen as a social process that links to the everyday world that provides the space for the identity formation. It transcends the narrow utilitarian principle to strive for securing and organizing power itself

Rights to food with a human face in the global south / Rahim, Aminur

Rahim, Aminur	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication

2011.

Summary/Abstract

This article seeks to dispel the popular myth surrounding the food crises which precipitated food riots in the global South in 2008. Arguing from a structural and historical perspective, the article suggests that global hunger is a deep-rooted crisis that is embedded in the social and structural variables associated within the nation-state that places a restraint on the self-regulating capacity of nation-states in the South. Internationalizing the food crisis, however, will do more harm to the south's agricultural transformation and rural development. The article argues for integrated rural development that will increase output growth through an institutional, technological, and marketing strategy.
