China's food safety system is in crisis. Egregious scandals, as
varied as the sale of liquor laced with Viagra and the distribution
of fake eggs, reveal how regulatory practices have been stretched
to their limit in the world's largest food production system. On
Feeding the Masses focuses on the oft-cited but ultimately
overlooked concept of scale to identify the root causes of China's
regulatory failures in food safety. The 'politics of scale'
framework highlights how regulators disagree on which level of
government is best suited to regulate ('the scale of governance'),
struggle to address multilevel tensions ('multidimensional scale
integration'), and fail to understand how policies at one level of
government can affect other levels of government in unexpected and
costly ways ('scale externalities'). Drawing from over 200
interviews with food safety regulators and producers, the study
provides one of the most comprehensive accounts of China's food
safety crisis to date.
