The Political Construction of Agro‐Food Liberalization in East Asia: Lessons from the Restructuring of Japanese Dairy Provisioning
强调国家层面过程在东亚农产品体系全球重组中的重要性，通过分析日本乳制品供应重组，揭示贸易仍受服务于国内农业利益的政府商业机构调控，对亚太农产品重组模型有启示。
Abstract: This article asserts the significance of national‐scale processes in the global restructuring of agro‐food systems, especially in East Asia. Using an analysis of the recent restructuring in Japanese dairy provisioning, it documents how this trade remains orchestrated by government‐commercial institutions that are organized and regulated to serve domestic agrarian interests. In the context of international disagreement on the future of the liberalization of agricultural trade, the implications of this study are that models of contemporary Asia Pacific agro‐food restructuring should emphasize the ongoing importance of national institutions within the organization of trade, rather than assume prematurely the reality of a neoliberal marketplace.
