Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the past and expected developments of food security and socio-political stability within the region, and the potential role the region may play in meeting global food security and socio-political stability challenges, given their policies and institutional constraints. In particular, we discuss the impact of a series of policy initiatives triggered by increasing food prices in the most recent years as especially export restrictions on grains taken by Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan are found to have affected both the food-importing countries in the region as well as several countries in, for example, North Africa and the Middle East, which heavily rely on imports from these major grain-exporting countries.
