Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Binghamton, 2008.

The dissertation studies the interplay between the capitalist world system and the agricultural development, in particular addressing the key issue on the creation of Taiwan's food dependency on foreign grains import. The myth that East Asian nations are still self-sufficient in food supply is widely shared within the East Asia societies. However, as the study shows, East Asian countries are heavily dependant on foreign food import, above all, the U.S. feed grains. By using Taiwan's hog industry case, the study reveals the historical and political economic factors which caused Taiwan's food dependency, and the impacts of the international food regime on it. The author argues that seemingly the expansion of the hog industry correlates the emergence of Taiwan's food dependency. However, the determinant factor should be the change of the hog husbandry method. In order to fit in the U.S. farm interest, the Sino-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction (JCRR) initiated the "Integrated Swine Program" in 1963 in Taiwan. This made Taiwan's hog industry commercialized, specialized and concentrated on the one hand. On the other, due to the promotion of corn feeding, extension of the U.S. breed boars and introduction of the U.S. feed technology, hog farmers gradually gave up the traditional sweet potato feeding, which led to the swift decrease of domestic sweet potato production output and the emergence of Taiwan's heavy food dependency on the U.S. feed grain imports.
