520			_aThe Political Economy of Hunger- Volume II: Famine Prevention. This volume is the second of three addressing a wide range of policy issues relating to the role of public action in combating hunger and deprivation in the modern world. Volume II deals with famine prevention, with particular attention to sub-Saharan Africa. The topics covered include the problems of early warning and early action, the politics of famine prevention, the influence of market responses, the role of cash support and employment provision in protecting threatened food entitlements, and long-term issues of reduction of famine vulnerability. In addition to general analyses, the book contains a number of case studies of failures and successes in famine prevention, both in South Asia and in sub Saharan.
