Agricultural trade policy made easy (pdf 554kb)

This booklet aims to demystify the complex concepts behind agricultural trade policy and help policy makers and the public better understand them. It introduces some basic concepts of trade policy, then looks at the economics of agricultural protection, outlines the outcomes of the Uruguay and Doha WTO rounds, and the general political economy of multilateral trade reforms.
