Abstract
Since the early 1990s, the successive reforms of the CAP became more and more politicised. The previous chapters have shown that these reforms took place increasingly as an open policy debate, involving a rising number of stakeholders and an enlarged set of issues which not only concerned agricultural production but also societal concerns. This was accompanied by an evolution of the way the policy debate took place. Because policy makers were confronted with the growing need to explain a policy contested both by international trading partners and by the public, as well as to make changes acceptable to the farming constituency, they more and more used policy discourse and ideas to explain and promote reforms.
