The food crisis, mass media and the political economy of policy analysis and communication
记录了2006-2008年粮价飙升前后，学界和机构对粮价影响发展中国家的看法从“低粮价是诅咒”到“高粮价有破坏性”的转变，并建立模型解释这一变化，同时审查了转变传播策略的组织的政策建议。
Few years ago, the widely shared view was that low food prices were a curse to developing countries. The dramatic increase in food prices in 2006–2008 appears to have fundamentally altered this view. The vast majority of analyses and reports in 2008 and 2009 state that high food prices have a devastating effect on developing countries. In this paper, we (i) document these changes in perspective; (ii) develop a model of policy communication to explain the cause of the change in views; and (iii) review the policy recommendations of the organisations that shifted their communication.
