HUNGER IN THE BALANCE: THE NEW POLITICS OF INTERNATIONAL FOOD AID
Book ID/图书代码： 03360011B50670
English Summary/英文概要： Food aid has become a contentious issue in recent decades, with sharp disagreements over genetically modified crops, agricultural subsidies, and ways of guaranteeing food security in the face of successive global food crises. in Hunger in the Balance, Jennifer Clapp provides a timely and comprehensive account of the contemporary politics of food aid, explaining the origins and outcomes of recent clashes between donor nations—and between donors and recipients.
She identifies fundamental disputes between donors over “tied” food
aid, which requires that food be sourced in the donor country, versus “untied” aid, which provides cash to purchase food closer to the source of hunger. these debates have been especially intense between the major food aid donors, particularly the european Union and the United States. Similarly, the eU’s rejection of gMo agricultural imports has raised concerns among recipients about accepting gMo foodstuffs from the United States. For the several hundred million people who at present have little choice but to rely on food aid for their daily survival, Clapp concludes, the consequences of these political differences are profound.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 食物援助问题已经在最近几十年里成为备受争议的问题，主要集中在对准基因作物的激烈反对，农业补贴，以及在接连的食物危机下保证食物的安全性。在《饥荒问题悬而未决》中，Jennifer Clapp例举了及时全面的当代食物援助新政。阐述了捐助国之间，以及捐助国和接受国之间的冲突始末。 她确定了捐助国之间的基本冲突是在于是提供本国的食物还是提供现金来购买饥荒地区附近的食物，这样的争端在主要食物援助捐赠国显得更为激烈，尤其是欧盟和美国。同样地，欧盟对于引进转基因作物的反对引起了从美国接受转基因作物接受国的担忧。如今，有数百万民众别无选择，只能依靠食物援助来维持他们的日常基本需求，Clapp总结，这些新政的结果将会是深远的。
本书包含两张表格，7张图表。(兼职翻译-XAT)
Awards/获奖情况：“Jennifer Clapp至今有关食物援助政策的书中结合了她对食物援助政策系统关键人物的采访以及欧盟，美国和加拿大现有有关食物政策的文献。Clapp对于食物援助政策的历史了如指掌并对它们提供了行之有效的解决方案。她不仅有能力解释当代一些颇具争议的问题，还能阐述食物援助政策为何有如此奇怪的结构，而这结构大多数是应该继续使用下去的。如果全球治理的每一个方面都有这样的一本书，那么我们所有人都会变得聪明一点。”——craig n. Murphy 波士顿麻州大学 “《饥荒问题悬而未决》中有国际食物援助问题方面的全面总结和食物缺乏时代的未知性和不确定性，全球贸易冲突和生物技术上的争议。Jennifer Clapp对食物援助问题的分析阐述了全球食物系统，国际组织和政治发展的主要特征。”——adam sheingate 约翰霍普金斯大学
