The European Union governance of the wicked problem of food security

Food security concerns and arguments have made a revival in European Union (EU) governance since the 2007-8 and 2010 global food price crises. This renaissance of food security has been accompanied by increasing awareness among scholars and policymakers about high degrees of complexity, uncertainty, controversy, and cross-scale dynamics surrounding food security as well as consequent governance implications. This dissertation conceptualizes food security as a wicked problem.
Following from this conceptualization, the dissertation aims to explore how the EU governs the wicked problem of food security.
