| Title | The Farmer - Entrepreneur, the State - Gatekeeper: Indigenizing Neoliberalism in the Case of Romanian Agriculture |
| Summary | Starting from the Common Agricultural Policy, I show how the Romanian implementation of the European Union model of entrepreneurial agriculture generated a paradoxical synthesis of liberal ideas with principles of state protectionism. Focusing on a case study of farmers, administrators and bureaucrats, in two communes of Cluj County, I show how, instead of providing a ground for subversion, this process was one of incorporation. Thus, building on the farmer/peasant distinction, I tell the story of the construction and deconstruction of hegemony in the postsocialist variant of real existing Romanian neoliberalism in the domain of agriculture. |
