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.
