Corporate Interests in US Food Aid Policy: Global Implications of Resistance to Reform
This chapter examines the role of corporate power in international food aid policy, with a particular focus on the United States. It describes how corporate actors exercise instrumental power regarding international food aid policy through their lobbying activities in the US Congress, and how they exercise discursive power in food aid governance by engaging in public debate concerning hunger and food security. The chapter considers corporations’ relationship with other nonstate actors with a stake in food aid policy.
