First published in 1999, this collection of papers represents the latest thinking on the effects of globalisation and agri-food restructuring from a regional and peripheral perspective. '...excellent chapters...' AgraFood Asia '...there is a wealth of conceptual ideas and information...it will make a welcome addition to library collections and I will definitely encourage my postgraduate students to read different chapters. What comes across...is the dynamic nature of the Agri-food Research Network, the enthusiasm of its members and the plethora of research ideas which warrant further investigation.' Geographical Journal 'A number of these contributions are innovative, either theoretically or empirically...The reported advances in contextualized theoretical research offer an interesting read for specialist researchers and a contrast to the parallel, but methodologically and theoretically narrow, analyses of previously dominant new political economy writers.' Progress in Human Geography '...by revealing some of the issues and experiences of agri-food restructuring...books such as this make a useful contribution to the project for an alternative, democratic, globalization.'
