Food security is a multidimensional concept, and a key argument of this book is that, as such, it cannot be viewed from an economic perspective alone, nor can it be achieved by one policy or strategy alone. In fact, the achievement of food security is intimately related to a country’s overall development strategy as well as to its social, economic, and political structures. As shown by an analysis of geopolitical factors as well as the events of the Arab Spring, the political economy of food is a particularly crucial dimension of food security. We have argued that one reason why food played a role in the Arab Spring is that many Arab states, although posting healthy rates of economic growth, have not secured inclusive pro-poor growth. In other words, their overall development strategy has been flawed.
