Thesis (Ph.D.)--Michigan State University, 1997.

Commodity chains are networks of labor and production processes including production, distribution and consumption of a given commodity. They are a type of vehicle for transforming a commodity, and social relations and nature surrounding that commodity. This dissertation research is designed to improve our understanding of how a given commodity chain creates and maintains uniformity in a commodity through technical change. It uses the case of the rapeseed chain in the People's Republic of China (PRC) since 1949 as an example. Uniformity is defined differently by each human actor in the chain. Thus, technical changes for creating uniformity in a commodity reveal negotiations among conflicting interests in and values for that commodity in a chain. The project follows rapeseed from production to consumption by using two complementary methods: (1) historical studies of the chain and (2) interviews with participants.

520 $a Commodity chains are networks of labor and production processes including production, distribution and consumption of a given commodity. They are a type of vehicle for transforming a commodity, and social relations and nature surrounding that commodity. This dissertation research is designed to improve our understanding of how a given commodity chain creates and maintains uniformity in a commodity through technical change. It uses the case of the rapeseed chain in the People's Republic of China (PRC) since 1949 as an example. Uniformity is defined differently by each human actor in the chain. Thus, technical changes for creating uniformity in a commodity reveal negotiations among conflicting interests in and values for that commodity in a chain. The project follows rapeseed from production to consumption by using two complementary methods: (1) historical studies of the chain and (2) interviews with participants.
520 $a The study shows that each chain actor in China defines uniformity differently, and that the commodity chain extends its network from local to national and global by enrolling new actors, and integrating a new set of interests and values to shape the commodity. However, in an effort to modernize science and technology, and the economy, the role of traditional actors (e.g., peasants, village processors) has become increasingly marginalized. Consequently, many research products are not valued or utilized by the villagers. This research suggests that the effectiveness of research products depends on the ability of a given research community to integrate the diverse interests and values of actors into technical change for the commodity.
