About this product
Product Information
Agriculture is at a critical juncture. The Food Security Act of 1985, which was intended to reduce surpluses by making American farm products more competitive in world markets, has not yet succeeded. Food imports have outstripped food exports. Huge grain surpluses continue to pile up. Because many farmers and economists fault federal agricultural policies for the current predicament, this book examines how recent policies, like the 1985 law, have been made and focuses on the key role that private interests play in the policy process. Not only does Browne give us the first comprehensive study of all of the organized interests at work in agricultural policymaking, but he also makes an important contribution to understanding the interaction of organized interests in the American political process. His book should appeal to a wide audience composed of those interested in agriculture, policy process, and interest group behavior. In the early 1980s, 128 separate organizations employed Washington-based lobbyists who regularly worked to influence agricultural policies. Many other organizations periodically lobbied in agriculture. The general farm organizations have been joined by commodity organizations, trade associations, corporate spokesmen, farm activists, industry lobbyists, consumer groups, environmentalists, and advocates of a variety of food-related programs. Long gone are the days when the farm bloc preordained policy outcomes and when students of American politics looked upon agriculture as a classic example of the "iron triangle" or self-governing subsystem of interest groups, bureaucrats, and legislators. Now the policymaking process is fragmented by the clamor from competing organized interest groups, and the policy makers responded by fashioning piecemeal policy with no seeming thought to unity of purpose. In an attempt to throw light on what actually happens in Washington, Browne explains what groups and interests are active in agricultural policymaking, what strategy and tactics they employ, and why some have more influence than others. One of Browne's conclusions is that a surprising number of agricultural issues are uninfluenced by the interest groups because they ignore them. For nearly a decade William P. Browne has studied the major farm organizations, congressional hearings and records related to agricultural issues, and the American Agricultural Movement. But perhaps his richest source of information has been extensive interviews with lobbyists, executives, and grassroots activists during and just after the 1985 farm bill debates. In the course of his research, Browne sought to learn how interest groups behave in deciding their policy priorities and how this behavior actually relates to influence over the desired policy outcomes.

"The author provides students of agricultural policy and political science a sophisticated treatment and excellent reference on the labyrinth of contemporary policy making in agriculture."-- American Journal of Agricultural Economics "Browne has produced the kind of work--and expressed it all so clearly and concisely--that should be read by every student of interest group politics."-- Policy Studies Journal "This book will become a classic in its field."-- Choice, "This is the most comprehensive treatment of the dynamics of modern agricultural interest behavior ever produced. . . . Its dissection of the process out of which the 1985 omnibus farm legislation emerged is surgical in its precision and clarity."-- James T. Bonnen , past president, American Agricultural Economics Association "Browne has revealed a new wave of interest representation, starkly new in its participants, milieu, goals, and techniques. it becomes all the more fascinating in a historical context, which Browne provides. Once again agricultural politics has given us remarkable insights into the American system."-- Don F. Hadwiger , author of The Politics of Agricultural Research "This is the most sophisticated treatment we have ever had of the interest politics of agricultural policy. Browne does a splendid job of sorting out the different types of interested parties, identifying their roots, and showing the constraints under which they operate. He makes a persuasive case that no one group or combination of groups is likely to dominate farm policy, that coalitions among farm interests tend to be short-lived, and that the 'iron triangles' so often cited in political science literature have been vulnerable to many other influences. This work will serve as a model for future investigators, not only of agricultural policy and politics, but in other policy areas as well."-- Robert H.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
