Between Soil and Society: Legislative History and Political Development of Farm Bill Conservation Policy
Autor Jonathan Coppessen Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2024
In Between Soil and Society Jonathan Coppess traces the history and development of U.S. conservation policy, especially as it compares to and interacts with the development of farm policy. By answering questions about the differences in political support and development for these similar policy regimes, with efforts to apply legal and political theory to understand the differences, Coppess considers the implications of climate change and lessons for future policy development. One of the few books to make sense of the legal and economic analysis of agricultural conservation policy, Between Soil and Society provides a window into larger issues of American politics, governance, and policy development.

Recenzii
"This is a must read for anyone who wants an in-depth understanding of farm policy."—R. E. O'Connor, Choice
“Between Soil and Society is based on deep research in congressional sources, current discussions of farm policy, and a huge secondary literature on the economics of agriculture, the evolution of farm policy, and the nature of congressional behavior. Jonathan Coppess’s understanding of farm policy since 1990 is especially impressive, and his ability to root this discussion in a larger historical context makes this book a first-rate work of scholarship. This is a major contribution to the literature on farm policy and on congressional behavior and the legislative process.”—David E. Hamilton, author of From New Day to New Deal: American Farm Policy from Hoover to Roosevelt, 1928–1933
