Most of the recent written material on the Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP) is about the details of the day for example, the views
of interested parties on the way milk quotas should be removed or
the consequences for the EU of different proposals from opposing
camps in the international trade negotiations. Surprising little is
available which attempts to increase understanding of why the
policies are as they are, how they attempt to tackle the underlying
problems faced in the European Union and the degree of success they
achieve, and the prospects for change. In short, there are few
attempts to place the CAP within the conceptual framework of the
'policy process', aimed at students and others concerned with
agriculture, the countryside, rural areas and related subjects. Yet
knowledge of this process and how it can be applied is precisely
the sort of material which students require to gain good
understanding of the CAP. The details of agricultural and rural
policies have changed and will change many times, and the number of
Member States may increase further; yet the principles of policy
analysis as applied to the CAP will endure and be of use as details
evolve. These principles are the main focus of this book. The
authors use economics as the main toolkit, as fairly simple
economics holds the key to understanding many of the fundamental
pressures to which agriculture, environmental issues and rural
areas are subject. However, to explain the CAP they acknowledge the
importance of the political and administrative environment in which
CAP decisions to allocate public funds are made. Thus political
economy, especially theory of public choice and the behavior of
bureaucratic organizations, is also drawn upon.
