ABSTRACT
The chapters of this book cover several issues regarding the CAP reform: the political economy of the reform, the impact of the Fischler Reform on the EU agriculture, the environmental effects of the new CAP and the consequences of the new measures on the rural development policies. While most analyses look at what happened after the Fischler Reform, other chapters have a more prospective nature, looking at the future of the CAP in general and of specific instruments including market measures and direct payments.
