Andrew ‘Pop’ Morrison, a.k.a Wonderboy, was always destined to be a drummer. When he and his band set out to hit the big-time, they find themselves on a one-way path to stardom. Enjoying the wild ride, Pop easily slips into the role of troublemaker. Soon the whole world is at his fingertips – and it’s addictive.When his partying lifestyle takes a dramatic downward turn, Pop is forced back to square one. Stuck in limbo, the only thing that comforts him is Drewford Alabama’s personal diary, which he discovered in the torn lining of a thrifted suitcase one fateful night in a New York hotel suite. Finding Drewford becomes an obsession, but with only a name and mysterious messages left on an empty page, will he ever find him?

Drawing on insights from theoretical applications, empirically based approaches and case study experience, this book contributes to the improved design and use of trade and related policy interventions in staple food markets.Trade policy interventions have a potentially critical role to play in the development of staple food markets in developing countries and, as a source of revenue, in wider processes of rural development. Governments have long defended trade and related policy interventions in staple food markets on the basis of food security concerns. However, the design and implementation of these policies has often resulted in unintended impacts, increasing the risks faced by private sector actors and reducing their incentives for investment in improved market performance. In the context of increasingly volatile staple food markets, this book, commissioned from leading experts in this field, seeks to enhance dialogue between stakeholders involved in, and affected by, the design and use of trade and related policy interventions.This significant book will appeal to policy analysts and decision makers influential in the design and implementation of trade and related market interventions, as well as students of development economics. Researchers contributing to debates on the use and impacts of trade and related market interventions in staple food markets in poor countries will also find this volume of great benefit.
