Agricultural Policy Reforms and their Implications on Rural Development: Turkey and the EU

Son on yılda iç ve dış koşulların etkisi ile hem AB’nde hem Türkiye’de tarım politikası alanında radikal denebilecek reformlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. AB 2009 yılından beri tarımda yeni reform önerilerini tartışmakta iken, Türkiye’de 2009 yılında tarım politikalarında AB’den farklı bir yöne doğru, yeni bir değişim başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada reform süreçlerinin arka planları ve kapsamları ele alındıktan sonra, yeni politikaların özellikle kırsal kalkınma ve yoksulluk açısından sonuçları eleştirel bir gözle değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışma AB’ye aday bir ülke olarak Türkiye tarımını ve tarım politikalarını Avrupa Birliği ve Birliğe Üye ülkeler ile karşılaştırmalı bir biçimde tartışırken, bir yandan da AB ortak tarım politikasındaki reformların özellikle yeni üye ülkeler açısından sonuçlarını inceleyerek, Türkiye’nin tarım ve kırsal kalkınma politikaları açısından gelecekte karşılaşabileceği güçlükleri anlamayı amaçlar

AGRICULTURAL POLICY REFORMS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ON RURAL DEVELOPMENT: TURKEY AND THE EU

In the last ten years, the agricultural policies of both the EU and Turkey have been reformed in a radical way, due to various external and internal factors. Since 2009, the EU has been discussing the new reform proposals in the CAP, while Turkey’s agricultural policies have begun to evolve in a completely different direction. At this paper, the consequences of the new agricultural policies in terms of rural development and rural poverty are evaluated with a critical eye, after a brief discussion about their background, objectives and content. The paper aims to understand the difficulties that Turkey may encounter regarding its agricultural and rural policies in the future, by elaborating Turkey’s agriculture and agricultural policies in comparison with the EU
