The decision‐making process in the European Community was analyzed using a model of the political economy of agricultural policy making within a public choice framework. The November 1989 session of the Agriculture Council was used to illustrate Community institutions as a locus of bargain and compromise between the demands of organized farm lobbies, commodity groups, Community bureaucrats, and the Ministers of Agriculture of the Member States in the development of the Common Agricultural Policy.
