一系列的分析会提出社会权力、分配和分化的问题，沃尔茨在这本书中只是犹豫地展开了这些问题。事实上，他本可以而且应该更明确地指出，粮食安全是一种在该地区和其他地方被动员起来的话语，目的与粮食安全无关：即，以否则难以公开证明的方式向社会精英分配国家租金。然而，沃尔茨的功劳在于他在收集和综合大量历史和当代证据方面做了如此熟练的工作--即使在调查这些证据时，读者对海湾地区“粮食安全”概念背后的真实的利益所得出的矛盾结论远没有作者本人那么矛盾。
a line of analysis would raise questions of social power, distribution and differentiation which Woertz only hesitantly opens up in this book. Indeed, he could and should have stated much more clearly that food security is a discourse which is mobilized in the region and elsewhere for ends having little to do with securing food: namely, the distribution of state rents to social elites in ways which would otherwise be difficult to publicly justify. Still, it is to Woertz’s credit that he has done such a skilled job of amassing and synthesizing a tremendous pile of historical and contemporary evidence – even if, upon surveying it, the reader comes to far less ambivalent conclusions about the real interests behind notions of ‘food security’ in the Gulf than the author does himself.
