Reviews
"Professor Filomeno throws empirical snarls into [the accepted] master narrative [of the evils of corporate agricultural biotechnology]. He disaggregates the power side of the equation by carefully documenting political interests based in the agroeconomic success of Monsanto's technology in soy production in Latin America. Farmers and nations wanted access to the new technology (glyphosate-tolerant soy), giving Monsanto leverage in negotiations. The result was a political and agroeconomic struggle with variable outcomes over time and space.The book explores mechanisms of variation that undermine simplistic generalizations about corporate intellectual property claims." - Ronald Herring, Latin American Politics and Society, 57(1)
