Agricultural Policy Reform after the Uruguay Round

D. R. Harvey

Chapter 11 in Agriculture in the Uruguay Round, 1994, pp 223-259 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Whatever the outcome of the Uruguay Round, the future of agricultural policy reform after 1993 will continue to reflect a mixture of internal or domestic and external, trade-related pressures, and will continue to be driven by politics rather than economics. Although the Uruguay Round is not yet concluded, or pronounced dead, the scope of the agreement (or agreement to differ) is now reasonably clear. In either case, there will remain considerable trading pressure for the continued reform of domestic policies on both sides of the Atlantic (not to mention the Pacific). Arguably, the pressure will be the more intense in the event of collapse of the Uruguay Round, though with the possibility that responses will be more insular and protective, and thus destructive of the world market, at least in the short run. But, as far as the EC is concerned, other pressures, especially those from the enlargement of the Community to include elements of the CIS and other Eastern and mid-European States, could potentially press for reform along more libertarian lines.
