Description

This volume compares the US and EEC approaches to agricultural policymaking and finds that although their objectives are similar, they have used different instruments to achieve their goals. Both approaches include strong political control of the agricultural system - considered a strategic sector not ruled exclusively by the market - with important repercussions. Internally, there tend to be conflicting demands for both a loosening of the policies and an increased government intervention - internationally, tensions have been created in trading relations among First World countries and between First and Third World countries. By contrasting the European and US systems, the authors offer a better understanding of how agricultural policies succeed or fail.
