Abstract

[Extract] The preface to The Common Agricultural Policy and Organic Farming states that the "theoretical concern of the book is the question of how institutional change may be captured and conceptualised", especially those institutional changes which are "ideational in nature". While this question is explored in context of the development of organic farming as a policy field within the CAP, it is important to stress that the focus of the book is heavily weighted towards its theoretical concern with institutional change and not towards a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between organic farming and the CAP. In fact, the first three chapters of the book, including the introductory chapter, make virtually no mention of organic farming.
