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?
