Elena Baglioni’s research interests include global value/commodity chains, the global economy of food, agrarian political economy, and historical processes of development in least developed countries with particular reference to sub-Saharan Africa. Her background is in political science and development studies. Her most recent and current research focuses on the development of export horticulture in Senegal, where she looks at the evolution of fresh fruit and vegetables commodity chains linking Senegal and Europe, and the emergence of local firms and indigenous capitalist development. She recently won a post-doctoral scholarship from the Future Agricultural Consortium, at the Institute of Development Studies (University of Sussex) to investigate local, national and international processes of land acquisitions, and investment in sub-Saharan Africa.
