Journal of International Trade Law and Policy: A regime complex for food assistance: international law regulating international food assistance
- Share to:
Abstract
Purpose – There is no single undertaking regulating food assistance at the international level. International
food assistance is regulated by a patchwork of rules emanating from different institutions and normative
arrangements. This study aims to explore how international law shapes international food assistance. How is
international law regulating food assistance, considering this patchwork of institutions and norms? What
dominant narratives enshrined in legal agreements shape the evolution of international food assistance?
Design/methodology/approach – The author uses the concept of “regime complex”, which allows
analyzing partially overlapping and nonhierarchical regimes governing a particular issue, shedding light on
the narratives and institutional arrangements that lead to the consolidation of international rules. The author
identifies two main regimes that govern international food assistance: the food assistance regime and the food
trade regime.
Findings – The author shows that using the “regime complex” concept clarifies the evolution of
international food assistance, highlighting that international law is a crucial element in shaping international
food assistance and showing that the two main institutional regimes governing it interact and shape rules
along three main themes: the centrality of donor States’ self-interests, the relationship between international
food assistance and trade liberalization and the goal of achieving food security for the beneficiaries.
Originality/value – Using the regime complex concept, the author brings new light on the broader
institutional and legal framework influencing the governance of international food assistance, showing that
different regimes take part in its shaping.
