The Architecture of Consolidation: Nests of Corporate Control in the Agrochemical Network
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research on agricultural consolidation tends to equate corporate control with the dominance of a few large firms. We take an alternative approach that examines control through the explosive growth of legally distinct firms that fragment accountability. Using a new global dataset of 6982 entities linked to BASF, Bayer, Corteva, Dow, DuPont, FMC,
