Nouvelles conditions internationales de l'élaboration des politiques agricoles nationales

Roger Savary

Économie rurale, 1980, vol. 138

Abstract: International conditions are seldom " new " but their respective relative weight in formulating national agricultural policies changes greatly. In the early eighties major importance thus attaches to : currency instability and the absence of any genuine international monetary system ; low or even negative rates of overall economic growth ; widespread high rates of inflation ; the absence of any agreed global strategy for economic and agricultural development ; the ever growing influence of multinational corporations, especially in the farm and food field ; the growing scarcity of natural resources i.a. energy ; the universal failure of national support policies to benefit the rue rural underprivileged ; and the uncertainties attending possible technological breakthroughs. Policy makers must therefore take into account considerable instability in external conditions and even possible catastrophic circumstances that may materialize.
