Alternative policies for agriculture in Europe
讨论了三种农业政策改革路径：控制预算的止血方案、稳定农村的治疗方案、以及将农业政策融入欧洲一体化进程的催化方案，对农业经济学家理解问题的经济和政治维度提出挑战。
Three different approaches to a reform of the agricultural policies are discussed.Tourniquet solutions to solve the immediate problem of budget control, therapeutic solutions aiming at a stable and prosperous rural community while ensuring the further technological development of agriculture, and a catalytic approach in which agricultural policies are integrated in an overall political effortaimed at the further political and economic integration of the expanded European Community and the tackling of its important social and economic problems. The challenge to agricultural economists is to improve the economic understanding of the problems and to come to grips with their political dimensions.
