WIDER  The World Institute for Development Economics Research, established in 1984, started work in Helsinki in 1985, with the financial support of the Government of Finland. The principal purpose of the\n\u003cbr\u003eInstitute is to help identify and meet the need for policy-oriented socio-economic research on pressing global and development problems and their inter-relationships.  WIDER's research projects are grouped\n\u003cbr\u003einto three main themes: hunger and poverty; money, finance, and trade; and development and technological transformation.  Volume II deals with famine prevention, paying particular attention to sub-Saharan Africa.  The topics covered include: the problems of early warning and early action; the politics of famine prevention; the influence of market responses; the role of cash support and employment provision in protecting threatened food entitlements; and long-term issues of\n\u003cbr\u003ereduction of famine vulnerability.  In addition to general analyses, the book contains a number of case studies of failures and successes in famine prevention, both in South Asia\n\u003cbr\u003eand in sub-Saharan Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43934953537774,"sku":"9780198286363","price":360.55,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198286363.jpg?v=1706243895","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/political-economy-of-hunger-volume-2-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
