If we created the euro, we cannot drop a euro-zone country -- otherwise it wasn't worth it to create the euro," [Nicolas Sarkozy] said at a Paris agricultural fair. "That's why I'm supporting Greece. Sarkozy said he would fight to defend the entire EU's economy "with the same fierce energy" as he said he has for Europe's common agricultural policy, which benefits French farmers. "We have already seen that the reform package that Greece came up with on its own has clearly brought new faith in the country from financial markets," said German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, speaking in Cordoba, southern Spain at an informal EU foreign ministers' meeting.
The European Union's Common Agricultural Policy was a postwar effort to ensure sufficient food reserves, driven in large part by haunting memories of starvation. Even the U.S. participated in removing surplus grain stocks from the market and paying its farmers to store grain until the mid-1980s when it unleashed a full frontal assault on the EU's practice of dumping its by-then mountainous surpluses at fire sale prices. The theory behind that strategy is that farmers will respond to 'market signals' just like other industries and ramp up production when it is necessary and scale back accordingly. It's turning out that system doesn't work so well either. Economists and free trade advocates have been quick to quantify the benefits of open markets, and criticize any initiatives to protect ...

Contrary to her view that the re-branding of the UK's Ministry for Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAFF) as the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in the mid-1990s was a deliberate attempt to develop an integrated vision of the rural future, it was, in fact, a response to the public's loss of faith in MAFF following nearly a decade of successive food scares (salmonella, listeria, E. Coli, BSE etc.). The result was to divorce the responsibility for food safety from those with responsibility for food production. While Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada may have been slow to catch onto the idea that the farm and rural economies are interdependent, or more generously that it has never had a mandate for the rural economy, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives has lon...

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.
