Book synopsis

This book engages in the§controversies of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms,§demonstrating how these are reiterated by mainstream theoretical approaches in§the field.§§The reforms that the European§Union's CAP underwent during the last three§decades were intended to make it less trade-distorting, more taxpayer-friendly§and more able to meet the new challenges of environmental concerns and rural§development/territorial cohesion. The outcome of the reforms has, however,§contradicted these objectives, with the controversies being reiterated by the§mainstream theoretical approaches in the field.§§European Union's Common Agricultural Policy Reforms argues§that these controversies are due to reductionist, rationalist and idealist§assumptions with regard to the object of inquiry applied by mainstream§approaches. It proposes an alternative critical approach that takes into§account the role of real material factors. Critical realism is not just an§alternative explanation of CAP reforms but an alternative theory of how§explanations can be made, which enables readers to reflect upon and endorse the§results of existing lines of research in proceeding towards deeper level§theory.§
