- Agricultural activity is a fundamental part of most societies in the world, therefore policies regulating these activities have an impact on almost every part of these societies, both locally and globally. As a result, it covers the interest of a variety of groups, ranging from farmers to environmental groups, civil society organizations, multinational companies, and political parties, making agricultural policy highly political. For this thesis the case of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will be used, since it is a highly debated agricultural policy with effects beyond EU borders. Especially regarding it being a major contributor to environmental degradation and climate change, as well as having effects on international trade and developing countries. Therefore, this thesis will seek to understand how the international dimensions of agricultural policy are featured within the debate leading up to the most recent agricultural reform, CAP 2023-2027. In order to answer this, the publications made by the political groups of the European Parliament will be analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings show that the environmental and climate dimensions of the CAP is the most featured dimension, within the parliamentary debate, however the featuring differs between the political groups with a key focus on European farmers.
