They also examine related changes that have occurred after the triple disaster of March 2011 (the earthquake, tsunami, and meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor), noting that reconstruction policy has favored deregulation and the reduction of social welfare. Sekine and Bonanno stress the incompatibility of the requirements of neoliberalism with the structural and cultural conditions of Japanese agri-food. Local farmers' and fishermen's emphasis on community collective management of natural resources, they argue, clashes with neoliberalism's focus on individualism and competitiveness. The authors conclude by pointing out the resulting fundamental contradiction: The lack of recognition of this incompatibility allows the continuous implementation of market solutions to problems that originate in these very market mechanisms"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRural studies series (Morgantown, W.V.) 606 $aFood supply$xPolitical aspects$zJapan 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects$zJapan 606 $aNeoliberalism$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFood supply$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aNeoliberalism 676 $a338.10952 700 $aSekine$b Kae$01046818 702 $aBonanno$b Alessandro 702 $aSaffel$b Than 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465690603321 996 $aThe contradictions of neoliberal agri-food$92474032 997 $aUNINA
