Research of European Union's Common Agricultural Policy: disciplinary boundaries and beyond
基于科学哲学和文献分析,梳理了欧盟共同农业政策研究从市场扭曲转向国际贸易、预算决策及食品环境等社会议题的演变,指出学科从农业经济学扩展到政治和社会科学,并呼吁跨学科研究以弥补现有不足。
Based on the philosophy of science approach and literature analysis, this contribution demonstrates that over time, the focus of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy research has shifted from market distortions to international trade and budgetary decision-making frameworks, as well as broader societal issues, such as food, environment and development. The array of disciplinary approaches has changed accordingly: from (agricultural) economics towards political and social sciences. Some key gaps in the existing research indicate the limits of overly problem-oriented and partial approaches towards science, calling for inter- and trans-disciplinary work when it comes to indivisible layers of the research object.
