Summary: | Dramatic changes took place in
agricultural policies in Europe in the 19th and 20th
century. In the 1860s European nations agreed on a series of
trade agreements which spread free trade across the
continent. In the 1960s European nations concluded an
international agreement which spread heavy Government

continent. This paper offers hypotheses as to the causes of
these dramatic changes in agricultural protection. |
