This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC
BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship
Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected
open access locations. This volume is the second of three
addressing a wide range of policy issues relating to the role of
public action in combating hunger and deprivation in the modern
world. It deals with the background nutritional, economic, social,
and political aspects of the problem of world hunger. Volume 2
deals with famine prevention, paying particular attention to
sub-Saharan Africa. The topics covered include: the problems of
early warning and early action; the politics of famine prevention;
the influence of market responses; the role of cash support and
employment provision in protecting threatened food entitlements;
and long-term issues of reduction of famine vulnerability. In
addition to general analyses, the book contains a number of case
studies of failures and successes in famine prevention, both in
South Asia and in sub-Saharan Africa. Taken together, these essays
provide a comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the problem
of hunger and deprivation, and an important guide for action.
