The Right to Food Guidelines, Democracy and Citizen Participation: Country case studies: Routledge Studies in Food, Society and the Environment

Autor Katharine S. E. Cresswell Riol
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 feb 2019
It is now more than a decade since the Right to Food Guidelines were negotiated, agreed and adopted internationally by states. This book provides a review of its objectives and the extent of success of its implementation. The focus is on the first key guideline – "Democracy, good governance, human rights and the rule of law" – with an emphasis on civil society participation in global food governance. The five BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are presented as case studies: representing major emerging economies, they blur the line between the Global North and South, and exhibit different levels of human rights realisation.
The book first provides an overview of the right to adequate food, accountability and democracy, and an introduction to the history of the development of the right to adequate food and the Right to Food Guidelines. It presents a historical synopsis of each of the BRICS states’ experiences with the right to adequate food and an analysis of their related periodic reporting to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as well as a specific assessment of their progress in regard to the first guideline. The discussion then focuses on the effectiveness of the Right to Food Guidelines as both a policy-making and monitoring tool, based on the analysis of the guidelines and the BRICS states.

Recenzii

"Through BRICS country case studies, this book critically assesses how national states and civil society use the Human Right to Adequate Food Guidelines to monitor the realization of democratic food governance under rule of law. Its valuable contribution expands the use of human rights instruments and procedures in the context of research methods as well as social change mechanisms." – Anne C. Bellows, Syracuse University, USA
"This timely analysis of the Right to Food Guidelines highlights the importance of the accountability of states and civil society mobilisation in instigating the urgently needed paradigm shift in unjust food systems. Furthermore, the book makes a valuable contribution to how a human rights-based approach can be applied in research."Stefanie Lemke, Coventry University, UK
