What is it about?
Modern food governance is increasingly hybrid, involving not only government, but also industry and civil society actors. This volume analyzes the unfolding interplay between public and private actors in global and local food governance. How are responsibilities and risks allocated in hybrid governance arrangements, how is legitimacy ensured, and what effects do these arrangements have on industry or government practices? Authors with a background in law, economics, political science and sociology discuss these questions as regards rich empirical cases.

Why is it important?
The development of various hybrid governance arrangements is in a state of flux. The issues treated in this volume may help to discuss the advantages and challenges involved.
Perspectives
We hope this book will stimulate research and thinking about the involvement of different actors in governance arrangements. not only in the field of food governance, but similar issues are to be seen in other fields such as environmental protection, construction, and product safety.
