Resumen
Descripción
The story of agriculture in Eastern Europe during the last quarter century is
a story of policy driven by politics, rather than by sound economics. Even in the highly
distorted economies of the socialist period, agricultural policy stands out as being singularly
colored by ideological imperatives, and singularly vulnerable to interest group pressures.
While the revolutions of 1989-91 did mark a sharp move toward liberalization, these moves
are now being slowed and even reversed, as countries of the region adopt Western style
interventionism in preparation for accession to the European Union.
