Lecture

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has reached a turning point in 2023 as it transitions towards a new multi-level governance framework aimed at decentralising management and incorporating other common policies. However, the policy’s design has serious constraints, making its objectives difficult to achieve. Moreover, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine have reshaped the economic and geopolitical context within which the National Strategic Plans for 2023-2027 will be implemented.

The lecture will be included in CIHEAM Zaragoza’s inaugural ceremony of the 2023-2024 academic year. It will address the singularities of the CAP beyond 2023, highlighting the potentialities as well as the main limitations and conditioning factors, arriving at some conclusive insights into the policy’s development following the upcoming elections of the European Parliament in June 2024, during the next legislature and the new pluriannual financial framework of the EU.
