Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los últimos dos siglos el sector agrícola ha conseguido resultados excepcionales, siendo capaz de alimentar cada vez mejor a una población mundial en fuerte crecimiento. Para explicar con claridad las causas y los factores de tal éxito, este volumen presenta en primer lugar la información disponible sobre la evolución de la producción agrícola y de otras variables significativas, como los precios y la composición de la producción. A continuación analiza las dos fuentes de incremento de la producción a largo plazo, es decir, el aumento de los factores utilizados (tierra, capital y trabajo) y de su productividad. Por último, examina el papel de las instituciones (la afirmación de derechos de propiedad modernos, los cambios en la propiedad de la tierra, el desarrollo del mercado) y describe las políticas agrarias, concentrándose en su evolución en la segunda posguerra, el periodo de mayor intervención estatal en el sector.

Download or read book The Political Economy of the Common Agricultural Policy written by Fernando Collantes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the balance of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy more than half a century after its birth? Does it illustrate the virtues of the European model of coordinated capitalism, as opposed to US-style liberal capitalism? Or is it an incoherent set of instruments that exert diverse negative impacts and, like Frankenstein’s monster, seems to have escaped the control of its designers? The Political Economy of the Common Agricultural Policy does not criticize the CAP from the liberal standpoint that views most public interventions in the economy as bad for efficiency and welfare. The CAP has been costly to Europeans, both as consumers and as taxpayers, and has also generated a number of negative impacts upon third countries, but these costs and impacts have been more moderate than is suggested. This book proposes that the issue with the CAP is not a generic problem of coordinating capitalism but, instead, a more specific problem of low-quality coordination. The text argues that profound reform of the European Union’s institutions and policies is required to counter the rapid rise of a more Eurosceptical state of mind but – in the case of agricultural policy – history casts serious doubts on the capacity of the European network of agriculture-related politicians to lead such a reform. This key work is essential reading for researchers, graduate students, and master’s level docents of the Common Agricultural Policy and – more broadly – European Union policy and reform.

Download or read book The Reason why written by Thomas Christiansen and published by Universidad de Zaragoza. This book was released on 2012 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the influence of Francoist policy on agricultural output in the 1939-55 period. The focus is on the wheat, olive and wine sectors and special attention is given to small-scale farmers. Agrarian policy for wheat and olive oil included pricefixing, production quotas and rationing of consumption. Producers and consumers circumvented intervention by creating a black market. When earnings from the black market are included, value of output per unit of land remained close to pre-war levels. It is then concluded that the decrease in wheat output was caused by lack of draught animals and fertilisers rather than state intervention. Intervention in the wheat sector was therefore desirable from a social viewpoint but the system could have been improved significantly. Average olive oil output only fell below the pre-war level immediately after the war. Consequently, state intervention was unnecessary after 1942-43 and could have been abolished long before it was finally done in 1952. In the wine sector, policy aimed at increasing farm prices rather than decreasing consumer prices. Table wine consumption declined after the war but this was counteracted by higher demand for high-alcohol white wine for the production of brandy and industrial alcohol. Consequently, the analysis shows that similar kinds of intervention led to quite different result in terms of production, as demonstrated in the cases of wheat and olives. On the other hand, different types of intervention led to similar results in production for olives and vines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impact on Latin America of the extraordinary transformation of the international economy that took place in the half century or so that preceded the world depression of the 1930s. The authors show how the response varied in terms of both growth and distribution, shaped by varying preconditions, and by natural resources and geography. The interplay of economic developments with political and social structures had profound and varied effects on policy-making and on institutions that were of great significance for later decades.

Download or read book Political Landscapes written by Christopher R. Boyer and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-17 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the 1917 Mexican Revolution inhabitants of the states of Chihuahua and Michoacán received vast tracts of prime timberland as part of Mexico's land redistribution program. Although locals gained possession of the forests, the federal government retained management rights, which created conflict over subsequent decades among rural, often indigenous villages; government; and private timber companies about how best to manage the forests. Christopher R. Boyer examines this history in Political Landscapes, where he argues that the forests in Chihuahua and Michoacán became what he calls "political landscapes"—that is, geographies that become politicized by the interactions between opposing actors—through the effects of backroom deals, nepotism, and political negotiations. Understanding the historical dynamic of community forestry in Mexico is particularly critical for those interested in promoting community involvement in the use and conservation of forestlands around the world. Considering how rural and indigenous people have confronted, accepted, and modified the rationalizing projects of forest management foisted on them by a developmentalist state is crucial before community management is implemented elsewhere.

Book excerpt: El caso de Rulfo es el del escritor que tiene mucho que decir -no tanto en extensión como en profundidad- y que por condicionamientos de su misma biografía se ve obligado a expresarse a través de personajes sumamente rústicos, "gente que aparte de ignorante casi no habla". Por lo que no le queda más que infiltrarse, si se quiere subrepticiamente, en el mundo interior de sus personajes y dotarlos de su propia sensibilidad artística para que puedan apreciar la realidad que los rodea y expresarse sobre esa realidad en consonancia con la visión del mundo que él, Rulfo, elabora a lo largo de su obra literaria.
