Recent agrarian change in Latin America has brought dramatic social-ecological impacts on multiple spatial and temporal scales. Chapter 6 concludes the book with a comparative and historically informed analysis of the main public regulations that emerged in response to new social-ecological concerns in the wake of the dramatic changes. Through a reflection over the ways Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay have coped differently with the strong distantly driven transformative pressures, the chapter contributes depth and nuance to the discussion of constrained state autonomy and capacity in Latin America within the realm of contemporary agrofood globalization. The chapter concludes that while state autonomy and capacity are constrained in all three countries to varying degrees, stronger and more coordinated regulative efforts could lead to more sustainable pathways for agrarian change in Latin America. |
