Reviews'This Handbook makes an important contribution to agrifood studies. Departing from more generalized analyses of globalization and neo-liberalism we are presented with a rich range of country level and thematic studies by highly respected authors. In this way, common trends are subjected to the detailed scrutiny of individual Nation States both in the North and the South, unwrapping the heterogeneous forces at work in each. The thematic section in its focus on key issues and actors similarly exposes the complex tendencies often hidden by more generalized accounts of the global agrifood system. Political economy at its best!', 'This Handbook makes an important contribution to agrifood studies.

This Handbook provides an essential overview to help readers understand the future evolution of agri-food through an analysis of the economy in key regions around the world.
