Agricultural policies have always been the subject of theoretical and political controversy. Their history alternates between the legitimacy of intervention in agricultural markets and the withdrawal of the state from these markets. Consisting of two volumes totalling over 1,200 pages, this book looks back at the complex notion of agricultural policy.

In addition to financial support from SMART and the participation of Vincent Chatellier in the coordination of the project, several SMART members contributed to this collective initiative through the following chapters:
