Abstract

[Fr:]La sécurité alimentaire et les institutions inclusives sont de plus en plus reconnues comme des dimensions fondamentales du développement, compte tenu de leur rôle dans la promotion de la stabilité et la croissance économique à long terme. Nous examinons le lien entre les processus de démocratisation et la sécurité alimentaire dans les pays à faible et moyen revenu, à travers une analyse menée sur un échantillon de 106 pays observés pendant la période 1990–2012. Nous constatons que les processus de démocratisation sont associés à des niveaux de sécurité alimentaires améliorés et qu’ils les anticipent systématiquement, déterminant ainsi une trajectoire de dépendance temporelle. Nous soutenons que le caractère inclusif des institutions démocratiques est important pour expliquer cette relation.

abstract = "Food security and inclusive institutions are increasingly acknowledged as fundamental dimensions of development, given their role in promoting long-run economic growth and stability. We explore the nexus between achievements in democratisation and food security in low- and middle-income countries, through an analysis of a panel of 106 countries observed from 1990 to 2012. We find that democratisation processes are associated with improved food security, and that the former systematically precedes the latter, shaping a temporal dependence path. We argue that the inclusiveness of democratic institutions is important in explaining this relationship.",
