'Grant has written one of the best books ever on the CAP, and really on EU policy making more generally.' - John Peterson, Political Studies '[D]emonstrates the author's rich knowledge of commodity details and historical evidence, without losing the thread of political economic analysis...[U]p-to-date...and...readable...it can be fully recommended.' - Andreas Bodenstedt, Sociologia Ruralis

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the Common Agricultural Policy which imposes high costs on taxpayers and consumers yet has proved very difficult to reform. Particular emphasis is placed on new developments affecting the shape of the CAP, including the outcome of the GATT Uruguay Round negotiations, Eastern enlargement, and developments in environmental policy. A distinctive feature of the book is the attention given to situating European agriculture within its global context and in relation to the food processing and agricultural supply industries.
