This is an invaluable piece of work that, to my knowledge, is not
replicated anywhere, even in piecemeal fashion. It should be read
by everyone having a stake in the Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations. It fills an historical
vacuum in US-EU agricultural trade relationships that has existed
for decades. This book provides the context of the past half
century, and it will be invaluable for another half century.' -

Tim Josling and Stefan Tangermann's Transatlantic Food and
Agricultural Trade Policy traces the past fifty years of
transatlantic trade relations in the area of food and agricultural
policy, from early skirmishes over farm policies to on-going
conflicts over biotech foods and hormone use in animal rearing. The
authors take an analytical approach to the causes of transatlantic
conflict and the extent to which these trade tensions in
agricultural markets have reflected wide differences in policy
approaches and levels of support. They explore the role played by
international rules, in the GATT, and subsequently the WTO, in
disciplining farm price support policies to allow for more open
markets. The book also points to possible ways to end five decades
of transatlantic trade tensions in the area of food and farm
products. Scholars, practitioners and policymakers will find this
timely book an invaluable and comprehensive guide to the causes of,
and solutions to, the persistent EU-US trade conflicts in
agricultural and food policy.

Current Issues in Global Agricultural and Trade Policy presents an
authoritative perspective on matters that will contribute to the
future shape of global markets for agricultural products. Written
by a rare grouping of eminent and globally leading agricultural
economists from a wide variety of backgrounds, the book provides an
analytical overview of the academic and professional work of the
late Timothy E Josling, an outstanding intellectual innovator.Areas
covered in the book include farm policies of the EU and the USA,
analysis of farm support and its effects, US trade policy for
agricultural products, analysis of food security, implications of
sanitary and phytosanitary measures, and relevance of geographical
indications in international trade. The implications of the
COVID-19 pandemic for agricultural trade policy are discussed in an
endnote. This book throws light on some of the most impressive
achievements of the agricultural economics profession.
The problems caused by the proposed enlargement of the EU to
include the associated Central and Eastern European countries
(CEEC) are discussed. The two main agricultural issues raised by
this are the relative competitiveness of CEEC agriculture and its
potential to cause difficulties for the Common Agricultural Policy.
The results of a major research project addressing these issues,
are considered. The CEECs mainly covered are Bulgaria, the Czech
Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia
The inclusion of agricultural products in the current customs union
is one of the potential future steps on the road to further
political and economic integration between Turkey and the EU. This
book examines the effects of such integration of agricultural
markets on the Turkish agricultural sector as well as on consumers
and the Turkish budget. Results are compared to alternative options
for Turkish agricultural policy. To this aim, a detailed partial
equilibrium model of the Turkish agricultural sector is developed.
The complete liberalization of the agricultural sector is found to
lead to significant welfare gains compared to the maintenance of
current policies. It appears that including agricultural products
in the customs union results in similar results with few but
significant exemptions.
