The Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy

by Kenneth A. Ingersent (Editor)

These eight contributions (four of which are based on papers from the March 1996 conference at the U. of Nottingham) analyze the 1992 MacSharry reform of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) from an economic perspective. CAP is considered in terms of its burdens and benefits for member states, its impact on the environment, and the transmission of support prices to the consumer. Other topics include the motivations for the switch from market price to direct income support, and possible effects of future enlargement of the EU. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
