Out of the mix of the developing new Nation and the expanding capitalist system emerged strong farmer’s movements that produced state building processes central to American political development. It will show how the forces of state building and social movements converged to produce agro-industrialization. This agro-industrial developmental project was instrumental in both the development of the industrial food system and US Empire as the institutional capacities were later used to impose the same project outside of the US. These findings link together and augment existing approaches to capitalist development, International Relations, and theories of the state and the food system.Studies in Critical Social Sciences100.Agriculture and stateUnited StatesHistorySocial movementsUnited StatesHistoryLand reformUnited StatesHistoryAgricultural industriesUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesForeign economic relationsAgriculture and stateHistory.Social movementsHistory.Land reformHistory.Agricultural industriesHistory.338.1873Bauerly Brad1648869NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910823593603321The agrarian seeds of empire3997292UNINA
