Routledge : The Neoliberal Regime in the Agri-Food Sector

Explore the complex evolution of global food systems in The Neoliberal Regime in the Agri-Food Sector: Crisis, Resilience, and Restructuring. Published by Routledge as part of the Earthscan Food and Agriculture series, this book examines how the last thirty years of neoliberal governance have transformed agricultural production and consumption. By focusing on economic growth through deregulation, market integration, and the expansion of the private sector, the text analyzes the shift from state-based problem solving to market-based coordination. It provides a detailed look at how the contraction of the welfare state has influenced the way food is produced and distributed globally. This work offers a constructive dialogue regarding the current state of neoliberal governance and its institutional limits. It is an essential resource for students, academics, and professionals interested in the sociology of food, agricultural economics, and the structural changes within the global agri-food industry.
