Food Security and International Relations

Reviews / Votes

"As we seek to overcome conflicts, pandemics, and protectionism, it becomes central to the very survival of humanity to solve the debate about food security in the context of international relations. More than tackling a current topic, this book contributes an original reflection to the question of how we can tackle the issue of hunger with the creation of global public policies that can only be devised through the cooperation of a variety of relevant actors."-Janina Onuki, Director of the International Relations Institute, USP (Sao Pablo, Brazil) "This book makes several innovative contributions. The first is to highlight the topic of sovereignty and food security in the context of International Relations theory, which has so far been neglected in the discipline. A second innovation is to include the concept of Anthropocene and, in the book, to anticipate the global drama of the Coronavirus. The book also crucially discusses the problem of hunger when the absolute number of malnourished people increased to almost 11% of the world population."-Marcos Costa Lima, Professor of the Graduate Program on Political Science at Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE - Brazil)
