Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Agriculture has always attracted attention from governments, policy-makers and planners. As a globalized industry, any policy that has agriculture at its core must also be globalized. This book examines the policy and planning of agriculture, in the wake of the global crisis in capitalism, using this framework to examine the regulatory processes that intersect with agriculture while giving analytical emphasis to the capitalist accumulation process and the institutions of social regulation. Its three main objectives are: to outline a theoretical framework and approach for analyzing developments in capitalist agriculture in advanced industrial economies; to explore policy and planning issues and problems emanating from agriculture at the end of the 20th century and to review policy and planning processes and practice appropriate to the new structural conditions facing agriculture. The book concludes with an overview of policy and planning processes and addresses the political choices that are revealed as being required.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-226) and indexes.

Policy for agriculture -- A globalization perspective -- Economic processes and agriculture -- Agriculture and regulation -- The US model of agricultural regulation -- The EC and the common agricultural policy -- New Zealand and Australia and regulation for export -- The GATT and agriculture -- The politics of globalized agriculture.
