Using an analysis of the recent restructuring in Japanese dairy provisioning, it documents how this trade remains orchestrated by government-commercial institutions that are organized and regulated to serve domestic agrarian interests. In the context of international disagreement on the future of the liberalization of agricultural trade, the implications of this study are that models of ...

We believe that, at a minimum, an analysis of rural and regional Australia should draw upon elements of cultural, economic, political and urban geography, as well as fi elds such as rural studies and rural sociology. Insights gained from these diverse, but compatible, areas of inquiry can develop the understanding of contemporary rural and regional Australia, or what we have termed a ' ...

This paper provides a conceptual framework to explain this phenomenon. Drawing on the work of Amartya Sen, it uses a broadly framed analysis to conceptualize the problem in terms of the interactivity between three types of entitlement failure. Firstly, Pure Exchange System entitlement (abilities to obtain food from receipt of food from welfare programs) has been curtailed by institutional shortcomings in pivotal programs. Secondly, opportunities for wage-labour entitlement (abilities to obtain food from monetary incomes) have been restricted for vulnerable households because of the sequencing and geographical patterning of recent economic growth in India. Thirdly, opportunities for vulnerable households to address their needs through own-production entitlement (abilities to grow one’s own food) have been curbed by land fragmentation and environmental degradation. These interactions have created vicious cycles of food insecurity for vulnerable households. Through this approach, the deeper causal roots of India’s food security paradox are articulated, thus underscoring the importance of multi-pronged, holistically constructed policy agendas.

This case emphasizes the role of institutional ...
