Download or read book Political economy of national agricultural statistics: The case of Niger written by Benin, Samuel and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper conducts a political economy analysis to understand the factors that affect provision of and access to reliable agricultural statistics and data systems in Niger. A conceptual framework that identifies selected political economy aspects including political will, transparency and accountability, state capacity, and international commitments is developed. The predictions of the framework are tested using information collected through informal and formal interviews with professionals and staff of different institutions and organizations that provide or use agricultural statistics to analyze how different components of agricultural statistics and the underlying capacity and systems are differentially influenced by various political-economy factors. Implications for Niger and at the global level for developing an effective strategy to improve agricultural statistics and data (availability, quantity, and quality) that go beyond technological and methodological fixes are drawn.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Food Supply by : Bill Winders
Download or read book The Politics of Food Supply written by Bill Winders and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with an important and timely issue: the political and economic forces that have shaped agricultural policies in the United States during the past eighty years. It explores the complex interactions of class, market, and state as they have affected the formulation and application of agricultural policy decisions since the New Deal, showing how divisions and coalitions within Southern, Corn Belt, and Wheat Belt agriculture were central to the ebb and flow of price supports and production controls. In addition, the book highlights the roles played by the world economy, the civil rights movement, and existing national policy to provide an invaluable analysis of past and recent trends in supply management policy.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Agricultural Price Distortions by : Kym Anderson
Download or read book The Political Economy of Agricultural Price Distortions written by Kym Anderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite numerous policy reforms since the 1980s, farm product prices remain heavily distorted in both high-income and developing countries. This book seeks to improve our understanding of why societies adopted these policies, and why some but not other countries have undertaken reforms. Drawing on recent developments in political economy theories and in the generation of empirical measures of the extent of price distortions, the present volume provides both analytical narratives of the historical origins of agricultural protectionism in various parts of the world and a set of political econometric analyses aimed at explaining the patterns of distortions that have emerged over the past five decades. These new studies shed much light on the forces affecting incentives and those facing farmers in the course of national and global economic and political development. They also show how those distortions might change in the future.

This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural Development: New Perspectives in a Changing World is the first comprehensive exploration of key emerging issues facing developing-country agriculture today, from rapid urbanization to rural transformation to climate change. In this four-part volume, top experts offer the latest research in the field of agricultural development. Using new lenses to examine today’s biggest challenges, contributors address topics such as nutrition and health, gender and household decision-making, agrifood value chains, natural resource management, and political economy. The book also covers most developing regions, providing a critical global perspective at a time when many pressing challenges extend beyond national borders. Tying all this together, Agricultural Development explores policy options and strategies for developing sustainable agriculture and reducing food insecurity and malnutrition. The changing global landscape combined with new and better data, technologies, and understanding means that agriculture can and must contribute to a wider range of development outcomes than ever before, including reducing poverty, ensuring adequate nutrition, creating strong food value chains, improving environmental sustainability, and promoting gender equity and equality. Agricultural Development: New Perspectives in a Changing World, with its unprecedented breadth and scope, will be an indispensable resource for the next generation of policymakers, researchers, and students dedicated to improving agriculture for global wellbeing.

Book Synopsis Essays on the Political Economy of Rural Africa by : Robert H. Bates
Download or read book Essays on the Political Economy of Rural Africa written by Robert H. Bates and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1987-04-20 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume represent a dialogue between theory and data. The theory is drawn from a branch of contemporary political economy which can also be labeled the collective-choice school. The data are drawn from Africa. The book extends the methods of reasoning developed in collective choice from their original base-the advanced industrial democracies-to new territory; the literature on rural Africa. Such as extension challenges the power of this form of political economy. It also enriches it, for the central questions which motivate the contemporary study of political economy are often addressed with unique clarity in the scholarship on rural Africa.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of the 2014-2020 Common Agricultural Policy by : Johan F.M. Swinnen
Download or read book The Political Economy of the 2014-2020 Common Agricultural Policy written by Johan F.M. Swinnen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After five years of debates, consultations and negotiations, the European institutions reached an agreement in 2013 on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the 2014-2020 period. The outcome has major implications for the EU’s budget and farmers’ incomes, but also for Europe’s environment, its contribution to global climate change and to food security in the EU and in the world. It was decided to spend more than €400 billion during the rest of the decade on the CAP. The official claims are that the new CAP will take better account of society's expectations and lead to far-reaching changes by making subsidies fairer and ‘greener’ and making the CAP more efficient. It is also asserted that the CAP will play a key part in achieving the overall objective of promoting smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. However, there is significant scepticism about these claims and disappointment with the outcome of the decision-making, the first in which the European Parliament was involved under the co-decision procedure. In contrast to earlier reforms where more substantive changes were made to the CAP, the factors that induced the policy discussions in 2008-13 and those that influenced the decision-making did not reinforce each other. On the contrary, they sometimes counteracted one another, yielding an ‘imperfect storm’ as it were, resulting in more status quo and fewer changes. This book discusses the outcome of the decision-making and the factors that influenced the policy choices and decisions. It brings together contributions from leading academics from various disciplines and policy-makers, and key participants in the process from the European Commission and the European Parliament.
Book Synopsis Ideas about Agriculture in the Political Economy of Japan by : James M. Brady
Download or read book Ideas about Agriculture in the Political Economy of Japan written by James M. Brady and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major paradox in the political economy of Japan is why an enduring majority of citizens, as voters, consumers, and taxpayers, has explicitly supported or implicitly consented to a policy regime of agricultural protection that reduces material welfare and limits consumer choice. This book goes beyond standard political economy approaches that focus on self-interest pursuit by policy actors to contend that ideational factors are an important explanatory variable shaping the policy preferences of individuals towards agriculture and agricultural policy in Japan. The book traces the historical origins of ideas about agriculture, particularly those associated with the nōhonshugi tradition, and offers an original taxonomy classifying the development of agrarian thought from the Tokugawa era until the 1930s. It then analyses postwar media portrayals of agriculture in public policy debates around the 1961 and 1999 agricultural ‘basic laws’, charting the evolution of both economic and non-economic ideas in those periods. Finally, it investigates the predominant ideas held about agriculture by individuals today, as evidenced through public opinion survey data, and demonstrates that concerns about health and food safety, food self-sufficiency, and the environment strongly outweigh economic welfare considerations. The study concludes by examining developments in agricultural policy under the Abe administration in the context of these predominant ideas, and considers how those ideas could be operationalised in agricultural policy responses to major crises including the coronavirus pandemic and climate change.
Book Synopsis Trade, Exchange Rate, and Agricultural Pricing Policies in the Republic of Korea by : Pʻal-lyong Mun
Download or read book Trade, Exchange Rate, and Agricultural Pricing Policies in the Republic of Korea written by Pʻal-lyong Mun and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses government intervention in agricultural prices and how it persisted throughout the period 1960-84 in the Republic of Korea. During that period, the country largely completed its transformation from an agrarian economy to an industrialized one. In 1960, agriculture's share of gross national product (GNP) was 36.5 percent, and agriculture accounted for 60 percent of the country's employment. By 1984, agriculture's share of GNP was only 13.9 percent, and its share of employment had fallen to 25.9 percent. In the mid-1950s, Korea's centralized government concentrated on rebuilding the country, heavily damaged by the 1950-52 conflict. Later in the decade, and on into the 1960s, Korea turned its attention to expansion of industry and trade, and was highly successful. On average, national GNP increased more than 8 percent a year between 1960 and 1984, while the value of exports increased an average 30 percent a year. Initially, the great amount of attention paid to the industrial and trade sectors had negative effects on the incentives for agricultural production. Early in the 1970s, however, various factors caused the government to adopt a more favorable attitude toward the farm sector. Government intervention in agricultural prices had effects on agricultural production, agricultural consumption, foreign exchange earnings, the government's budget, and wages and income in both rural and urban sectors. Those effects are also presented in this report.
Book Synopsis Progress for Food Or Food for Progress? by : Folke Dovring
Download or read book Progress for Food Or Food for Progress? written by Folke Dovring and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-05-20 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A college textbook for graduate students of economics focuses on the political economy of agricultural growth and development, formulated from considerations of comparative international agricultural development. The 23 text chapters are grouped among 3 general themes, viz.: (1) descriptions of economic structures relevant to food needs to accommodate population growth; (2) descriptions of processes involving the linking of agricultural policy with food production, trade, commodity agreements, etc.; and (3) the political economy of agricultural development in each of the different global regions. The text accommodates the common features of this theme as well as the great variety of the development scene.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Agricultural and Food Policies by : Johan F. M. Swinnen
Download or read book The Political Economy of Agricultural and Food Policies written by Johan F. M. Swinnen and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article reviews innovative research that has emerged in recent years, both in the general economics literature and as applied to agricultural and food policies. There have been important innovations and new insights in these fields, particularly regarding the micro-foundations of political decision-making, the impact of political institutions and ideology, and the role of the media. Data have also improved substantially. However, there are still important gaps in our understanding. Further research should focus on capturing interactions between explanatory variables, more refined measurement of (political) institutions and reforms, the effects of international agreements, broader representation of agents, more explicit modeling of crises, discontinuous effects, and the interaction of multiple policies.
