Book review

Abstract

[...]the answer given by Zhou to the very question he raised in this book about what matters to food security is the political institution that a country adopts. [...]the message conveyed by Zhou's book is clear: if a country's food security is low, the causes must be found in the settings of the country's institutions (as summarised in Chapter 14). Written as a textbook, it comes with some useful teaching-learning features such as “review questions” (to reinforce key take-away messages from a chapter), “discussion questions” (to challenge students to apply what they have learnt to the real-world issues) and “further reading and resources” (to help the more serious reader to further their insight into this important topic of food security).
