Food security and sustainability are arguably the most important
issues facing the agri-food sector at the beginning of a new
millennium. In an era of globalization, where nation states appear
to have a diminishing role in governing these matters, the existing
and emerging power relations underpinning agri-food regulation
demand renewed scholarly attention. Drawing upon the expertise of
some of the most prominent writers in rural sociology, geography
and anthropology, this book shows how globalization processes open
up a new regulatory politics in which 'non-political' forms of
governing play an increasingly influential role in shaping
agricultural production and consumption. The first of its kind to
critically and comprehensively examine new forms of governing and
regulation, this important text explores the relationship between
globalization and new sites, spaces and agents of agricultural
regulation, using detailed case studies in developed nations to
illustrate points made. Demonstrating the political significance of
regulatory mechanisms extending beyond the state, the book also
discusses the consequences for the governing of the agri-food
sector.
