Ying Chen - Böcker

Most scholars attribute systemic causes of food insecurity to poverty, human overpopulation, lack of farmland, and expansion of biofuel programs. However, as Chen argues here, another significant factor has been overlooked. The current food insecurity is not absolute food shortage, since global food production still exceeds the need of the entire world population, but a problem of how to secure access to resources. Distorted agricultural trade undermines world food distribution, and uneven distribution impedes people’s access to food, particularly in poor developing countries. Examining EU and US agricultural policies and World Trade Organization negotiations in agriculture, the author argues how they affect the international agricultural trade, claiming that current food insecurity is the result of inequitable food distribution and trade practices. The international trade regime is advised to reconcile trade rules with the consideration of food security issues. Several other enforceable solutions to reduce world hunger and malnutrition are also advanced, including national capacity building, the improvement of governance, and strategic development of biofuel programs. This book will be of great interest to agricultural trade professionals and consultant policy makers in the EU, US and developing countries. Students and researchers with a concentration on international trade, agriculture economics, global governance and international law will benefit greatly from this study.

»Ibland undrade jag om det fanns någon medelväg mellan att leva och att dö. Jag hade till exempel tänkt på att lämna stan och aldrig mer komma tillbaka. Ett oförklarligt försvinnande skulle göra mamma lika illa som en avsiktlig död.» I romanen Den otacksamma är det Yan Zi som har ordet. Enda barn till en dominerande mor som hon under hela sitt tjugofemåriga liv försökt frigöra sig från vill hon nu se henne lida. Hopknycklat i en papperskorg ligger ett avskedsbrev, avsett att väcka smärta. Ying Chen, född 1961 i Shanghai, är sedan 1989 bosatt i Kanada. Hon skriver på franska. Med sin tredje roman Den otacksamma, 1995, introduceras Ying Chen nu på svenska.

»A. lämnar mig inte i fred. Han älskar mig. Han tröttar ut sig med att tämja mig, förvandla mig, med den storsinta förhoppningen att senare få begrava mig på samma kyrkogård som han. Han är säker på sin makt och släpper mig inte. Han vill ha en modern kvinna och han ska få det.» Han är arkeolog och tror på vetenskapen. Hon lever i det förflutna, i minnet av ett tidigare liv för mycket länge sedan. Han fruktar att dessa påträngande minnen ska ta död på deras kärlek och gör allt för att hålla henne kvar i nutiden. I romanen Stilla, 2008, skärskådar den kinesiska författaren Ying Chen skoningslöst relationen mankvinna, livet och kärleken.
