Review: The agricultural policy of industrial countries since WW2 has been highly protectionist, commodity-based, market distorting and dominated by domestic policies. Following a previous book that covered the 1980s, the authors here highlight the EC and US reforms and their interplay in the 1990s. They examine the links between domestic and trade policy reform and discuss whether reform is likely to continue in the near future. The book provides a complete explanation of how politics and process, influenced by past policies, national and international economic trends and political developments, shaped farm policy reform.
