  • World Food Security/3/18/02
    CHAPTER 4 TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND THE GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM VER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS IT HAS become clearer and clearer that the global food system strongly resembles a cartel. Since the members share power, purpose, and philosophy, no collusive conspiracy is O needed. Neither national governments, labor unions, cooperatives and other pro- ducer groups, nor consumer organizations, individually or collectively, appear yet to constitute an effective countervail- ing power to this combination of corporate agribusiness, rich individuals, large landowners in both industrialized and developing countries, and the financial institutions that guide and support them. UN figures suggest that the 7,000 TNCs counted in 1970 have increased to about 45,000. Business magazines agree that the largest 200 dominate the global economy. This concentration has exploded in the last decade in many sectors of the economy: biotechnology, communica- tions, computers, energy, entertainment, media, mining, pharmaceuticals, services (including financial), transporta- tion, and—perhaps less obviously—food and agriculture. In the last decade of the twentieth century, mergers became one of the most common forms of economic activity. According to Pat Roy Mooney, of Rural Advancement Foundation International, “Global corporations now control one-third of the world’s productive assets and three-quarters of all world trade.” 1 In the food and agriculture sector there is now a quasi-oligopoly with multiple moving parts. 86 WORLD FOOD SECURITY TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND THE GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM 87 Although the dominant forces do not seem to be delib- tive use of this kind of power torpedoed the proposed erately impoverishing the poor and denying them access to International Trade Organization after the Bretton Woods the food they need, their operations have the effect of doing Conference half a century ago, delayed GATT ratification for both.

ONSLAUGHT: COMMERCIAL SPEECH AND GENDER INEQUALITY Tamara R. Pietyt ABSTRACT Utilizing Dove's infamous "Onslaught" viral ad, this Article explores the ways commercial speech constructs images of and attitudes toward women that interfere with full equality for women. Advertising and marketing contribute to creating a social reality in which it is taken for granted that women must spend a great deal of time on appearance and that appearance is of critical importance to life success. As is typical for much advertising, it often does this by stimulating anxiety. Such anxiety may contribute to low self-esteem, lowered ambitions and stereotype threat reactions, as well as to biased reactions on the part of others-all of which may serve as obstacles to women achieving greater equality. The barrage of images which portray women as sexual objects or commodities also sends a message in some tension with full equality for women and may similarly lead to harmful self-conceptions on the part of women, as well as leading both men and women to view women as less competent.

  • Case Study: Unilever1
    CASE STUDY: UNILEVER1 1. Introduction Unilever is a British-Dutch company that operates in the market of consumer goods and sells its products in around 190 countries. Another remarkable fact is that they own more than 400 brands, what means an important diversification in both risk and the products they sell, among which there is food, personal care products and cleaning agents. In fact, twelve of these brands have sales of more than a billion euros. The importance of this multinational is reflected too in the fact 2.5 billion people use Unilever products every day, being part of their daily life. They also are responsible for the employment of 161,000 people in the different countries they operate. Finally, they believe in a sustainable business plan in which they reduce the environmental footprint and increase their positive social impact at the time they keep growing. 2. History Unilever was officially formed in 1929 by the merger of a margarine Dutch company and a British soapmaker. The margarine company of Netherlands was also a merger between the first margarine factory called in the world and another factory of the same product and from the same city, Oss, in the Netherlands. The soapmaker company revolutionized the market because it helped to a more hygienic society and the manufacturing of the product was wrapped. The name of the company is a fusion between the Dutch firm called Margarine Unie and the British firm called Lever Brothers. What Unilever did, was to expand its market locations to the American Latin and Africa. Moreover they widened the product areas to new sectors such as particular food and chemical products.
