The movement was created in response to the observation that large peasant groups have been excluded from the decision-making and development process of the international food system, especially from the Uruguayan rounds of GATT negotiations on agriculture. During the 90s, La Via Campesina was the pioneer movement to formulate the fight for food sovereignty. The definition of the concept of food sovereignty has been confronted to change since the beginning of its existence. This elegantly written and meticulously researched study is essential for those interested in the future of multinational and multiethnic states.Įssay aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Afrika, Note: 1,3, Universität Bayreuth, Veranstaltung: Geographies of Environment and Development, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This essay discusses the key problematics in the pursuit of food sovereignty in the Global South.

Mapping the complex range of political orientations within substate national movements, Visions of Sovereignty illuminates the political and constitutional dynamics of accommodating national diversity in multinational democracies. Because many substate nationalists perceive that the central state is not capable of accommodating or sustaining a plural constitutional vision, their radicalization is animated by a moral sense of nonreciprocity. Lluch argues persuasively that disengagement between the central state and substate nationalists can lead to the adoption of more prosovereignty constitutional orientations. It also elaborates a novel theoretical perspective: the 'moral polity' thesis. Based on extensive fieldwork in Canada and Spain, Visions of Sovereignty provides an in-depth examination of the Québécois and Catalan national movements between 19. In Visions of Sovereignty, Jaime Lluch examines why some nationalists adopt a secessionist stance while others within the same national movement choose a nonsecessionist constitutional orientation. What motivates substate nationalists to prioritize one constitutional vision over another is one of the great puzzles of ethnonational constitutional politics. Substate national movements within countries such as Spain, Canada, Belgium, and the United Kingdom are heterogeneous: some nationalists advocate independence, others seek an autonomous special status within the state, and yet others often seek greater self-government as a constituent unit of a federation or federal system. In the contemporary world, there are many democratic states whose minority nations have pushed for constitutional reform, greater autonomy, and asymmetric federalism.
