Governance and food security in an age of globalization

Robert L. Paarlberg

No 72, 2020 vision briefs from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

Abstract: The author asks if the reduction of hunger in the age of globalization depends upon improving governance at the global level or at the national level. he concludes that hunger, poor rural infrastructure, corruption, discrimination, lack of access to health services, etc. are local problems, most of which must be remedied by national governmental improvement, "one state at a time." "Think locally, then act nationally" is Paarlberg's governance motto.
