Summary / Abstract (Note) | Recurrentfood price crises, coupled with the steady deterioration of world food security overthe pasttwo decades, have prompted effortsto reform the global governance of food security. This article argues that diverging rules and norms across the elemental regimes of agriculture and food, international trade, and human rights over the appropriate role of states and markets in addressing food insecurity are a major source of transnational political conflict. It analyzes(1)the role of normsin the construction of the international food security regime; (2) the transition from an international food security regime to a regime complex for food security; and (3)rule and norm conflicts within thisregime complex. It concludes with a discussion ofthe impacts of diverging norms on the politics ofregime complexity and its policy implications for current efforts to reform the global governance of food security. |
