Agricultural Policy Reform and the WTO provides insights into the effects of the Uruguay Round WTO agreement on agricultural policy and global markets, and considers what is at stake in the Doha Development Agenda Round. The contributors to the book deal with a broad range of topics, including the evolution of domestic and trade policies in the last ten years across developed and developing countries and proposals made in the agricultural negotiation regarding market access, export subsidies and domestic support; new issues emergent in agricultural trade negotiations are also explored, including:






interaction between national regulatory systems and the deepening integration of the international trade regime


intellectual property rights protection


food safety
• quality regulations


antidumping trade protection.


Finally, the future of international trade relations is discussed, in particular the implications of enforcing domestic regulations to comply with international rules.

This rich collection of research and analysis will be invaluable to researchers, academics and policymakers with an interest in agricultural policy analysis and international economics.
