- Summary
- The Common Agricultural Policy was the most important policy for the longest duration of the European Economic Community's existence. Apart from subsidizing and modernizing European agriculture and securing supplies for its consumers, this policy was meant to be the beacon of European integration. However, it also became the most controversial policy of the EU, symbolized by subsidized overproduction, bureaucracy, and burgeoning farmers' protests. This book examines the wider context of agricultural integration since the 1920s, the basic ideas that drove this policy, the negotiations and controversies that went along with it, as well as with its economic effects and global impact.
