Abstract: Abstract United States trade and agricultural policies cannot be fully understood without reference to their historical and contemporary European counterparts. Policy with respect to using the international market and trade instruments to produce specific outcomes in the farm and the food-budget sectors is still relatively young and undeveloped. It does not compare, for example, with the long history of protection for farmers, such as that adopted by France in the nineteenth century, or of explicitly protecting consumers through cheap imports while carefully rationing public expenditures for farm-income support or modernisation, as was the policy in Britain until she applied to join the European Community.
