French agriculture: trends and policies
1995
Lueschen, L.S.
"Elite specialized interviewing" was used to analyze the socioeconomic and political forces that shape French agricultural policy. France has been the dominant influence in the formation and evolution of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Much of the delay in completing the Uruguay Round of GATT has been caused by agriculture, in particular France's opposition. Agriculture is an affair of state in France. The farmers' organizations, despite the decreasing number of farmers, remain powerful. French farming has undergone dramatic structural and social change. Two contradictory but powerful policies are driving French agriculture: the task of maintaining farm population and improving the standard of living of the farmers (rural vocation); and the task of modernizing farms and reducing farm population (export vocation).
