本文介绍了《农业变革杂志》关于跨国农业运动的专刊。撰稿人的方法和主题在地理、时间和政治范围上有很大差异。这一系列的贡献者对TAM的复杂性有着共同的理解，这种复杂性源于对复杂的历史渊源和微妙的政治平衡行为的理解，这些行为必然是任何努力构建跨界联盟的特征，这些联盟将高度异质的组织，社会阶层，种族，政治观点和地区联系起来。这篇介绍性的文章概述了TAM的深厚历史根源，并解释了为什么以及如何在这个集合中的作者认为这种复杂性是理解TAM的一个基本要素。这种复杂性可以通过观察七个共同主题来理解：（一）代表性和议程，（二）政治战略和行动形式，（三）影响，（四）作为不同（次）国家运动之间行动舞台的TAMs，（五）阶级起源，（六）意识形态和政治差异以及（七）联盟建设的动力。通过承认TAM的矛盾，模糊性和内部紧张局势，作者还试图从参与知识分子的角度出发，通过更好地理解其起源，过去的成功和失败以及当前和未来的挑战来推进变革性的政治项目。
This essay introduces a special issue of the Journal of Agrarian Change on transnational agrarian movements (TAMs). The contributors’ methods and subjects vary widely in geographical, temporal and political scope. The contributors to this collection share an understanding of TAMs’ complexity that grows out of an appreciation of the complicated historical origins and the delicate political balancing acts that necessarily characterize any effort to construct cross-border alliances linking highly heterogeneous organizations, social classes, ethnicities, political viewpoints and regions. This introductory essay outlines the TAMs’ deep historical roots and also explains why and how the authors in this collection see this complexity as an essential element in understanding TAMs. This complexity can be understood by looking at seven common themes: (i) representation and agendas, (ii) political strategies and forms of actions, (iii) impact, (iv) TAMs as arenas of action between different (sub)national movements, (v) class origins, (vi) ideological and political differences and (vii) the dynamics of alliance-building. By acknowledging TAMs’ contradictions, ambiguities and internal tensions, the authors also seek, from the standpoint of engaged intellectuals, to advance a transformative political project by better comprehending its origins, past successes and failures, and current and future challenges.
