The Common Agricultural Policy

A major retrospective analysis of the European Common Agricultural Policy set against the background of agricultural policy in Western Europe since the Second World War. Dr Fennell surveys the development of the CAP, its structural, market, and trade policies, and the broadening of policy horizons since the mid-1980s, particularly to include environmental issues. The book concludes with a discussion of some unresolved issues, including the role and appropriateness of a sectoral policy.
