The Common Agricultural Policy - Hardcover

by Rosemary Fennell (Author)

This book is a major retrospective analysis of the CAP since its inception, set against the background of agricultural policy in Western Europe since the end of the Second World War. The topics covered include the development of the CAP, the struggle to introduce a structural policy and its subsequent unsatisfactory record, the uneasy relationship between market policy and trade policy, the question of agricultural incomes, and the broadening of policy horizons since the mid-1980s.
