The Journal of Agrarian Change examines transformations in agrarian structures and relations, focusing on land governance, commodity frontiers, and the political economy of agricultural development. It analyzes how state actions, market integration, and global investments shape rural livelihoods, citizenship, and environmental issues, particularly in the Global South. The journal also explores themes of inequality, exploitation, and resistance within agricultural value chains and land tenure systems.
