Explaining Mobilization: A Case Study of the 2020-21 Farmers' Movement in IndiaBoodhoo, Rubyna January 2024 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Thibaud Marcesse / This is a case study of the 2020-21 Farmers’ Movement in India which brought an alliance among farmers who belong to historically different social groups by their social status, land ownership, and amount of land owned. It also brought together farmers and laborers as a united front, and for the first time, an alliance of urban-based individuals and civil society groups, workers, students, and opposition political parties came together to support the farmers and their cause. How do people of different social groups and ethnicities construct common interests and act collectively? I review the literature on the structural and historical theories of peasants’ uprisings, the collective action theory, and the political opportunity structure to explain why the movement emerged and how it emerged. I argue that the movement emerged as a consequence of economic grievances and the potential for mobilization which is determined by the political opportunity structure. Farmers feared that the Farm Laws that were intended to liberalize agricultural marketing by facilitating intrastate trade, contract farming, and direct marketing would lead to the collapse of the state government-regulated marketplaces and eventually to the collapse of the minimum support price system. The discontentment of farmers, farmers’ unions, and opposition parties provided the political opportunity structure for the movement. I argue that economic grievances and political opportunity structure are necessary conditions for the emergence of social movements, but they do not explain how people of different social groups and ethnicities construct common interests and act collectively. Communities converge on a common frame through the process of frame alignment. Therefore, framing is a necessary and sufficient condition for participation in a social movement. The process of frame alignment creates common interests and non-monetary selective incentives like solidary and purposive incentives which are necessary and sufficient conditions for collective action. / Thesis (MA) — Boston College, 2024. / Submitted to: Boston College.

In disunity, weaknessZadnik, Elizabeth, n/a January 1990 (has links)
The National Farmers Federation (NFF) is a peak producer organisation. Its
executive has purported to represent all Australian farmers with a unified
voice. This thesis argues that primary producers are too heterogeneous a
group ever to have developed much solidarity in articulation of or action
for the furtherance of common interests and that this fact is reflected in the
NFF.
Heterogeneity results from farm size, product specialisation, level of
technology adopted, geographical location and special needs. Successive
farm organisations and the National Party (and predecessors) have
attempted to encompass these differences since the 1890s. Producer
differences either have led to secession or to unification when political and
economic circumstances have warranted it.
This diversity has prevented farm groups becoming united. The lack of
unity at first prevented all farmers joining in one organisation, and when
they did, they kept on splitting up. The charisma of Ian McLachlan allowed
farmers to get together, but the diversity meant that the getting together
benefited some not only without the others, but sometimes at the expense of
others.
This thesis explores the heterogeneity of the agricultural sector within the
political and economic context of Australian agriculture and discusses its
consequences, in the constant re-forming of farm organisations and the
institutional framework of the NFF in the context of politicisation of
agricultural interest groups.
This thesis concludes that producer differences in terms of size and product
specialisation determine how effectively they are represented. Corporate
farmers have fared much better than family and family-plus farmers, who
would probably be better represented by a small business organisation, with
which they have more in common, rather than a farming organisation.

Oregon farm wives' off-farm employment and satisfaction with farming as a way of lifeHatch, Carol S. 19 March 1996 (has links)
Among the changes farm families have faced during the past two
decades has been the dramatic increase in off-farm employment. Historically,
women's involvement has been essential to the functioning of the family
farm, and as off-farm income has increased in importance, increasing
numbers of farm women have joined the ranks of those employed in off farm
jobs.
Using phone survey data collected during the 1988-89 year, the
objectives of this study were (1) to identify the variables which may predict
farm wives' off-farm employment status, and the resulting direct and indirect
effects of their employment status on their satisfaction with farming as a way
of life, and (2) to assess the direction and strength of the relationships.
Guided by the Deacon and Firebaugh (1988) family systems framework,
path analysis was used to estimate the relationships among the variables.
The path model was estimated and examined using LISREL 8 on the
covariance matrix. A low chi-square and high goodness-of-fit index suggested
that no significant difference existed between the observed covariance matrix
and the model-implied matrix; however, many of the parameters in the
model had low values.
Because the model did not explain the ultimate variable, satisfaction
with farming as a way of life, well, several explanations were explored. None
of the model modifications estimated provided a better fit to the data, nor did
they result in better path coefficients. However, splitting the sample into
large and small farm subsamples answered some important questions.
When small (net farm income of $10,000 or less) and large farm
samples were examined, results revealed significant differences on a number
of variables and correlations. An analysis of the path model for small farms
produced poor R�� values, but the R�� for wife's off-farm employment level was
slightly improved over the initial model with the full sample. The analysis
of large farms indicated that the model provided better explanatory power
with large farms than with either the small farm or full sample when
focusing on the ultimate variable, satisfaction with farming as a way of life. / Graduation date: 1996
