Agriculture in the New Global Economy examines the extent to which
the political economy of agriculture and the food chain is being
transformed by globalisation. This book highlights the important
changes that have taken place in the agriculture and food system
with the spread of globalisation to this traditionally local
sector. Structural change and emerging technologies have
contributed to this transformation, which has extended to the
political environment in which agriculture operates. The authors
identify four paradigms that have characterised the governance of
agriculture: a traditional dependent-agriculture paradigm; a
neo-liberal competitive paradigm; a multifunctional paradigm; and
an emergent globalised-production paradigm. The tensions among
these paradigms are developed with reference to evidence from the
United States and Canada, the EU, Australia, Japan and the Global
South. The book analyses the controversy over genetic modification
of foodcrops, developments in agricultural trade policy at the
multilateral and regional levels, changing national food policy
systems, and emerging global governance arrangements for the
sector. Illustrating contemporary policy debates using both
theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence, this book will
appeal to academics, researchers and students specialising in
political science, environmental studies, agricultural economics,
management and food policy. The book will also be of interest to
government practitioners in agriculture and environment departments
as well as international organisations such as the EU, FAO and WTO.
