Abstract

The story of agricultural policy reform in the USA and the EU is one of long periods of inaction interspersed with sudden bursts of activity. In the EU the inaction corresponds to the period of gestation that seems to be necessary for every policy change, passing from the stage of denial that changes are needed to the first soundings of possible initiatives, and then from the publication of a reform proposal itself through to the brokering of an agreement in the Council of Agriculture Ministers. The US process is more concentrated and is focused on the renewal of the basic legislation, with competing bills working their ways through the committee stages to the floor of the Senate and the House and eventually to the desk of the President for signature, but after that the policy is generally not changed greatly until the legislation again needs renewal.
