Description:	This book starts from this point of rupture: a noted disjuncture in the normal ordering of the everyday world. The food price spikes and ensuing crises represent a disjuncture in the logic of the global food system and in global governance more broadly. The system failed. Reflecting the profoundly sad and problematic ordering of the global food system, what propelled this rupture was not the increase in the number of hungry and poor, but rather the significant challenges these crises presented to wealthy countries and the tenets of trade liberalization. When food exporting countries enacted protectionist measures, wealthy countries faced the realization that wealth and market rule will not always ensure access to food. As such, the reactions to the food price crisis and the corresponding changes to the architecture of global food security governance represent both a challenge to and defense of the hegemonic global project of neoliberalism.
