Trade-Related Agricultural Policy Analysis brings together several
aspects of agricultural policy analysis in an international
context. A unique dimension of this book is a focus not on
traditional border measures (tariffs, quotas and export subsidies
or restrictions) but on behind-the-border measures that reflect the
political economy of agriculture as a primary sector in context of
its historical roots and relevant issues within each country.
Macroeconomic policies interact with agricultural prices and trade,
and thus with farm support programs. There is an intense political
economy of agricultural policy in the United States, as set in
recurring "farm bills." This recurring legislation has direct
effects on world markets and indirect effects by setting the
conditions and tone for international negotiations. Policy
interventions directed at agriculture do not occur in isolate, so
their impacts have to be weighed against one another. Moreover,
seeking an open global trading system for agricultural and food
products has to be balanced with some public-good regulation to
ensure health and safety as products cross borders. Each of these
issues is explored in several chapters of this volume.
