Opening up and zooming in: The case of the FAO -- Methodological toolbox: Grounded theory, multi-sited ethnography, and discourse analysis -- Institutional roadblocks to mainstreaming the right to food in the FAO -- Nesting the analytical results within relevant academic debates -- Towards awareness-based systemic change in IOs

Carolin Anthes investigates how and why the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) struggles with systematically integrating a right to food approach in its operations. She analyzes multi-dimensional institutional roadblocks that prevent human rights from being fully mainstreamed. These barriers are shaped by a powerful state of fragmentation and disconnection: a silo culture. The book also offers valuable insights which go beyond the FAO and suggests a fairly unconventional avenue for systemic organizational change in (international) public administrations.
