(Re)making the Rural: Law, Resistance and Agrarian Movements
Bibliographic record
Abstract
(Re)making the Rural: Law, Resistance and Agrarian Movements explores the ways in which international law has shaped the rural and how resistance from the rural is increasingly shaping international law in return. In this making and remaking of the rural, the thesis maps the dynamics and contingencies that unfold when law from above meets law from below – and the messy encounters that ensue, shaping rural places, peoples and futures in the process. To do this, the thesis centers on the claims and actions of small producers around the globe organized through the transnational agrarian movement, La Via Campesina. In particular, it explores La Via Campesina’s foundational claims of food sovereignty, peasants’ rights, and agroecology as legal claims in conversation with international and transnational legal regimes. Borrowing methodologies from legal anthropology and theoretical accounts of law in the critical tradition, the thesis uses these claims to offer a rich account of the complexities of law-making in the context of deep ideational divides about the challenges that face our food systems (or our society more broadly) and the possible paths forward.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
