Description

Democracy and Famine explores the relationship between democratic institutions and the prevention of famine, building on Amartya Sen's influential thesis that free press and democratic governance protect populations from extreme food crises. This Routledge Research in Comparative Politics volume combines qualitative and quantitative evidence to analyse how political systems affect famine prevention and mitigation. The study examines the political incentives-or lack thereof-that determine whether governments take action against poverty, hunger, and inequality. While poverty and disease persist globally, famines are often preventable through effective governance and transparency. This scholarly work investigates whether democratic structures and institutional frameworks truly provide the safeguards necessary to avert famine, offering insights into the intersection of politics, economics, and human welfare across different nations and political contexts.
