"Consuming Interests" focuses upon the key interests which lead to
the provision of food choices: corporate retailers, government
regulators and consumer organisations; and examines how a retailed
form of food governance has emerged. Divided into three sections:
Concepts and Strategies, National Strategies and Local Strategies,
the book provides a detailed examination of corporate retailers,
state agencies and consumer organisations involved in the food
sector. The analysis raises some key social scientific questions
concerning what the public can expect the central and local state
to ensure; what limits there may be upon state action; and what the
most appropriate balances should be between public and private
interests in the provision of "quality" foods. Blending critical
theory, empirical research and policy, "Consuming Interests"
provides a topical and interdisciplinary exploration into the
nature of food provision, policy and regulation and gives an
insight into the broader social science concerns of the nature and
powers of the contemporary state.
