Panel at the Rural History 2017 Conference
Agricultural policy development and altering relations: How Eastern and Western Europe assessed and perceived each other after World War II
This panel will focus on agricultural policy development and trade relations in the divided Europe from the Post-War reconstruction in the late 1940s up to the 1980s. This embraces both the altering CMEA-EEC/EC relations as well as country specific economic-political changes which had effects on agricultural trade and exchanges. In this context, the individual East European countries’ economic and agricultural reforms provided various opportunities to broadening the market for agricultural products in the West. In return, increasing imports of Western agricultural machinery and implements became both visible and necessary from the 1970s. The panel thus focuses on exploring the role of economic and political changes – both in the East and West - as well as how these changes were conceived and assessed. We therefore invite scholars to join the panel by providing papers that contributes to discussions on the altering East-West agricultural relations and perception, not only related to country specific cases, but also by embracing the role of individual actors and agencies.
