Business as Usual: Responses within ASEAN to the Food Crisis

Randall Arnst

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The United Nations estimates that the number of people worldwide who suffer from chronic food shortages might now exceed one billion. That skyrocketing prices of food in general, and basic staple foods in particular, are a significant problem is evident. That this is a transient problem, a mere blip on the charts, or just a market correction in an otherwise fundamentally sound system is much more open to question.
