Western democratic welfare states often featured sectoral
governance arrangements where governments negotiated policy with
sectoral elites, based on shared ideas and exclusive institutional
arrangements. Food and agriculture policy is widely considered an
extreme case of compartmentalized and 'exceptionalist'
policy-making, where sector-specific policy ideas and institutions
provide privileged access for sectoral interest groups and generate
policies that benefit their members. In the last two decades,
policy exceptionalism has been under pressure from
internationalization of policy-making, increasing interlinkage of
policy areas and trends towards self-regulation, liberalization and
performance-based policies. This book introduces the concept of
'post-exceptionalism' to characterize an incomplete transformation
of exceptionalist policies and politics which preserves significant
exceptionalist features. Post-exceptional constellations of ideas,
institutions, interests and policies can be complementary and
stable, or tense and unstable. Food and agriculture policy serves
as an example to illustrate an incomplete transformation towards a
more open, contested and networked politics. Chapters on
agricultural policy-making in the European Union and the United
States, the politics of food in Germany and the United Kingdom,
transnational organic standard setting and global food security
debates demonstrate how 'postexceptionalism' helps to understand
the co-existence of transformation and path dependency in
contemporary public policies. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European
Public Policy.
