Feeding the Hungry
2020
Overview
Food insecurity poses one of the most pressing development and
human security challenges in the world. In Feeding the
Hungry , Michelle Jurkovich examines the social and normative
environments in which international anti-hunger organizations are
working and argues that despite international law ascribing
responsibility to national governments to ensure the right to food
of their citizens, there is no shared social consensus on
who ought to do what to solve the hunger problem.
Drawing on interviews with staff at top international anti-hunger
organizations as well as archival research at the United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization, the UK National Archives, and
the U.S. National Archives, Jurkovich provides a new analytic model
of transnational advocacy.
In investigating advocacy around a critical economic and social
right-the right to food-Jurkovich challenges existing
understandings of the relationships among human rights, norms, and
laws. Most important, Feeding the Hungry provides an
expanded conceptual tool kit with which we can examine and
understand the social and moral forces at play in rights
advocacy.
