Agricultural Protection Growth in Europe, 1870-1969

Johan Swinnen

No 50296, Agricultural Distortions Working Paper Series from World Bank

Abstract: Dramatic changes took place in agricultural policies in Europe in the 19th and 20th century. In the 1860s European nations agreed on a series of trade agreements which spread free trade across the continent. In the 1960s European nations concluded an international agreement which spread heavy government intervention and protection against imports across the continent. This paper offers hypotheses as to the causes of these dramatic changes in agricultural protection.
