Book Synopsis Common Agricultural Policy by : Robert Ackrill
Download or read book Common Agricultural Policy written by Robert Ackrill and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CAP has traditionally been at the core of the European Communities and even now consumes half of the European Union's budget. This book emphasizes the long-term link between the CAP and the budget. It examines the aims of the Common Agricultural Policy as set out in the Treaty of Rome and discusses to what extent they have been achieved and whether they are relevant to the 21st century. The factors that have shaped the 1992 and 1999 CAP reforms are outlined, with the latter, in particular, demonstrating the budget's effect on CAP and CAP reforms. The internationalization of CAP with constraints being placed on it by the World Trade Organization is another important factor covered by the book. The 1999 reforms are measured against what may be allowed by the WTO and the demands of EU enlargement. This title is published in conjunction with UACES, the University Association for Contemporary European Studies. UACES web site can be found at www.uaces.org

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the Common Agricultural Policy which imposes high costs on taxpayers and consumers yet has proved very difficult to reform. Particular emphasis is placed on new developments affecting the shape of the CAP, including the outcome of the GATT Uruguay Round negotiations, Eastern enlargement, and developments in environmental policy.

Book Synopsis The Common Agricultural Policy by : Grace Skogstad
Download or read book The Common Agricultural Policy written by Grace Skogstad and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a unique agricultural policy worldwide. For many years, its status as the only common European Community (EC) policy governed by EC institutions put it at the heart of European integration. Today the CAP is not the only common European Union (EU) policy. Even while it remains the sole instance of a regionally integrated agricultural policy, the CAP no longer embodies the same degree of cross-national harmonization of agricultural policy among EC/EU member states that it once did. The CAP has undergone policy reforms in the past two decades and these reforms have spawned a host of questions. What has caused the CAP to reform? How path-breaking are CAP reforms? Are they consistent with founding CAP goals or do they encompass new ideas about agriculture’s place in the economy and society? And what are the consequences of agricultural policy reforms: for European farmers, consumers and taxpayers; for European ‘public goods’ such as environmental sustainability and preservation of rural communities and landscapes; and for third parties outside the EU, including the WTO? This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Integration.
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 Policy Networks Under Pressure by : Carsten Daugbjerg
Download or read book Policy Networks Under Pressure written by Carsten Daugbjerg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this book examines how established policy networks and the broader context within which they are embedded influence the choice of policy when change has been put on the agenda. It criticises the existing network literature for being predominantly descriptive, for having little to say on the choice of policy and for omitting the analysis of the broader political structures which have consequences for meso-level policy making. In order to reinforce the explanatory power of policy network analysis, the book develops both a meso and a macro-level theoretical model. They help to explain why policy change is more radical in some settings than in others. The theoretical arguments are tested by the use of detailed comparisons of agri-environmental policy making in Denmark and Sweden and of agricultural policy reforms in the European Union and Sweden.
Book Synopsis European Agriculture by : Brian Gardner
Download or read book European Agriculture written by Brian Gardner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is central to both economic and environmental developments in Europe. But with the advent of new environmental legislation and political change in Europe the CAP faces increasing pressure to reform. European Agriculture provides a comprehensive breakdown of the workings of the CAP and its impact on farming in Europe. The author discusses every aspect of European agricultural policy, production and trade, from environmental contraints and the impact of biotechnology, to the role of European farming in the world food supply system. Posing direct questions about the recent 1992 agricultural reform, the 1994 GATT agreement and the reasons for the expensive continuation of the CAP, European Agriculture analyses the economic, political and environmental implications of pursuing present farming policy and provides a provocative commentary on the agricultural future of Europe.
Book Synopsis Understanding the Common Agricultural Policy by : Berkeley Hill
Download or read book Understanding the Common Agricultural Policy written by Berkeley Hill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of recent publications on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union address current issues and specific applications. There is little available which attempts to increase understanding of the nature of existing policies, their development, intentions, problems and successes. The aim of this book is to improve knowledge and understanding of the ‘policy process’ and its application to the CAP, focussing on the principles of policy analysis. For while the details of agricultural and environmental policies evolve, the principles upon which they are based endure. The author uses economics as a basis for his exploration, as fairly simple economics holds the key to understanding many of the fundamental pressures to which agriculture and rural areas are subject. He explains the importance of the political and administrative context in which the process occurs, acknowledging the influence of environmental and sociological concerns. Such knowledge of the conceptual framework of the ‘policy process’ and its application to the CAP is essential for all concerned with agriculture and rural livelihoods, both within the European Union and in those countries trading with the EU. This includes both students and professionals. The book provides an understanding of these principles in terms of how and why policy changes, thus increasing the efficiency and efficacy of the process.
Book Synopsis Critically Assess Attempts by the Eu to Reform the Common Agricultural Policy by : Veronika Minkova
Download or read book Critically Assess Attempts by the Eu to Reform the Common Agricultural Policy written by Veronika Minkova and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,7, King s College London, language: English, abstract: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been the centre of controversy throughout its history and has proven highly expensive and difficult to reform. The CAP remained almost entirely unchanged from its establishment at the Stresa Conference in July 1958 during more than 30 years and then was substantially reformed between 1992 and 2003. For many years with the status of the only common European Community policy governed by EU institutions, CAP is predisposed to complexity, which stems from the original policy design. Chapter 3 seeks to answer the question: 'What was the motivation for setting up the initial CAP design', which can give insight of the reform steps in the light of the initial policy base. By taking account of the context in which the CAP is implemented, namely the European integration, domestic developments and exogenous factors, Chapter 4 attempts to grasp the dynamics of the three major CAP reforms: MacSharry reform, Agenda 2000, and Fischler reform. The next chapter identifies the determinants of CAP reform. In line with the historical institutionalist perspective, Chapter 6 discusses causes for path dependence and policy feedback mechanisms. Finally, in regard to the growing use of the notion 'European agricultural model', the final chapter answers the question of whether the subsequent CAP reforms led to a policy paradigm shift.
Book Synopsis EU Agricultural Law and Policy by : Joseph A. McMahon
Download or read book EU Agricultural Law and Policy written by Joseph A. McMahon and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following an introductory discussion of the Treaty provisions on agriculture, this illuminating work examines the four regulations that currently govern the Common Agricultural Policy in the areas of Direct Payments, Rural Development, Finance, and the Common Organisation of the markets and considers their interpretation by the European Courts. It concludes with an astute assessment of the proposals for further reform, which will give Member States greater discretion in fine-tuning the principles of the policy established at European level to the particular characteristics of their agricultural sector.
Book Synopsis The Common Agricultural Policy by : Rosemary Fennell

Book excerpt: The Common Agricultural Policy: Continuity and Change 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, inparticular the early dominance of the market policy contrary to the original intention; 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 ofpolicy 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 in today's circumstances.
Book Synopsis The European Union's Common Agricultural Policy Reforms by : Marko Lovec
Download or read book The European Union's Common Agricultural Policy Reforms written by Marko Lovec and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book engages in the controversies of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms, demonstrating how these are reiterated by mainstream theoretical approaches in the field. The reforms that the European Union’s CAP underwent during the last three decades were intended to make it less trade-distorting, more taxpayer-friendly and more able to meet the new challenges of environmental concerns and rural development/territorial cohesion. The outcome of the reforms has, however, contradicted these objectives, with the controversies being reiterated by the mainstream theoretical approaches in the field. European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy Reforms argues that these controversies are due to reductionist, rationalist and idealist assumptions with regard to the object of inquiry applied by mainstream approaches. It proposes an alternative critical approach that takes into account the role of real material factors. Critical realism is not just an alternative explanation of CAP reforms but an alternative theory of how explanations can be made, which enables readers to reflect upon and endorse the results of existing lines of research in proceeding towards deeper level theory.
Book Synopsis Problems arising from the Common Agricultural Policy by : Kenân Özkara

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 2,0, Leuven Catholic University, course: Institutions and Policy of the European Union, language: English, abstract: Das wirtschaftliche Zusammenwachsen innerhalb der Europäischen Union (EU) der letzten Jahrzehnte sowie die Verwirklichung des europäischen Binnenmarktes im Jahr 1993 zwangen sowohl die Mitgliedstaaten als auch die Unternehmen, sich neuen Herausforderungen zu stellen. Durch die Öffnung der nationalen Märkte sahen und sehen sich die Staaten und ihre heimischen Unternehmen einem steigenden Wettbewerbsdruck gegenüber, den sie mitunter mit unrechtmäßigen Mitteln zu unterlaufen versuchen: Wettbewerbsbeschränkende Absprachen zwischen Unternehmen auf der einen Seite und staatliche Maßnahmen auf der anderen Seite vermögen den Wettbewerb gleichermaßen zu beeinflussen. Um die kompetitiven Marktstrukturen aufrechtzuerhalten, bedient sich die EU daher zweier Instrumente: Während die im Jahre 1990 erlassene europäische Fusionskontrollverordnung Wettbewerbsverfälschungen auf Unternehmensebene effektiv entgegenzuwirken versucht, regelt und überwacht die Beihilfenkontrolle die Beihilfenvergabe durch die Mitgliedstaaten. Gegenstand dieser Hausarbeit wird eine nähere Untersuchung und kritische Betrachtung der Beihilfenkontrolle der EU sein. Einführend wird in Kapitel 2 zunächst der zentrale Gegenstand der Beihilfenkontrolle - sprich die Beihilfe - genauer betrachtet, bevor in gebotener Kürze ein Überblick über mögliche Vor-und Nachteile der Vergabe gegeben wird. Gegenstand des dritten Kapitels ist die Beihilfenkontrolle durch die Europäische Kommission. Zunächst werden die Zielsetzungen sowie die Kriterien für die Rechtmäßigkeit einer Beihilfe dargestellt. Daraufhin sollen kurz das Verfahren der Beihilfenkontrolle sowie die rechtlichen Schranken skizziert werden, wobei weniger einzelne Details besprochen als vielmehr die Grundzüge aufgezeigt werden. In Kapitel 4 erfolgt eine kritische Betrachtung der Beihilfenkontrolle und ihrer wichtigsten Problemfelder. Dabei werden zunächst die Überlastung der Kommission sowie die unzureichende Transparenz sowohl auf Seiten der Mitgliedstaaten als auch auf Seiten der Kommission betrachtet. Anschließend wird die Dimension politischer Zielkonflikte dargestellt, wobei auch ein kurzer Blick auf politökonomische Aspekte erfolgt. In einem letzten Punkt wird die Problematik unterschiedlicher wettbewerbstheoretischer Leitbilder innerhalb der EU und ihre Bedeutung für die Beihilfenkontrolle aufgezeigt, bevor in Kapitel 5 abschließend ein kurzes Fazit aus den vorangegangenen Überlegungen gezogen wird.
