概要 | A long-dominant reading of American politics holds that public policy in the United States is easily captured by special interest groups. Countering this view, Adam Sheingate traces the development of...government intervention in agriculture from its nineteenth-century origins to contemporary struggles over farm subsidies. His considered conclusion is that American institutions have not given agricultural interest groups any particular advantages in the policy process, in part because opposing lobbies also enjoy access to policymakers. In fact, the high degree of conflict & pluralism maintained by American institutions made possible substantial retrenchment of the agricultural welfare state during the 1980s & 1990s. In Japan & France--two countries with markedly different institutional characters than the United States--powerful agricultural interests & a historically close relationship between farmers, bureaucrats, & politicians continue to preclude a roll-back of farm subsidies. This well-crafted study not only puts a new spin on agricultural policy, but also makes a strong case for the broader claim that the relatively decentralized American political system is actually less prone to capture & rule by subgovernments than the more centralized political systems found in France & Japan. Sheingate's historical, comparative approach also demonstrates, in a widely useful way, how past institutional developments shape current policies & options. 続きを見る |
