Sugar is a commodity that continues to hit the headlines. Whether
the debate is over ongoing protectionism, volatile world prices,
poor labour standards, or bio fuel production, the policies that
surround sugar are heavily contested. Drawing on critical political
economy and institutional theory, this book develops a novel
framework by which the power underpinning these policies can be
better understood and their distributive outcomes brought to the
forefront of analysis.
Providing a truly global overview of the sugar industry, the book
considers such issues such as the impact of the World Trade
Organization on regulation, the patterns of concentration and
diversification among sugar processors, and the transition to
high-sugar diets in Asia. Importantly, these issues are also
discussed in relation to the acts of resistance, submission and
co-option among the rural poor. In doing so, this study sheds light
not only on the changing nature of production in sugar, but also on
the causes and consequences of globalization in the agri-food
sector more generally.
