Failure or success? Biodiversity policy integration into the agricultural policy of the new EU Member States – the Croatian experience
Despite the adoption of EU nature conservation legislation, Central and Eastern European countries have witnessed accelerated biodiversity declines in recent decades. This paper explores the reasons behind the relatively weak integration of biodiversity policy into the agricultural sector, with Croatia serving as a case study. Conceptually, this study contributes to the understanding of biodiversity policy integration (BPI) by applying an adapted…
External shocks, policy spillovers, and veto players: (Post)exceptionalist Common Agricultural Policy and the Case of the 2023-2027 Reform
External shocks and policy spillovers have facilitated a gradual shift away from the exceptionalism (exclusive role of agricultural interests) in the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). This article argues that post-Lisbon decision-making rules and procedures, against some of the expectations, slowed this process. First, the parallel veto-based negotiations on the bloc's finances gave status quo actors the opportunity to influence the CAP indire…
Agriculture and environment: Friends or foes? Conceptualising agri-environmental discourses under the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy
The European Union’s common agricultural policy (CAP), in addition to its primary production and farm income goals, is a large source of funding for environmentally friendly agricultural practices. However, its schemes have variable success and uptake across member states (MS) and regions. This study tries to explain these differences by demonstrating differences between policy levels in the understanding of the relationship between nature and fa…
Are result-based schemes a superior approach to the conservation of High Nature Value grasslands? Evidence from Slovenia
In this study, we explored the potential of the payment-by-results approach in supporting the maintenance of High Nature Value (HNV) grasslands in a typical HNV farming system and Natura 2000 site in Slovenia (Europe) with a high share of small farms, fragmented land ownership and long-term process of land abandonment. We tested the applicability of a hypothetical result-based scheme (RBS) for the conservation of dry grasslands and a set of assoc…
Agricultural policies and European Union accession processes in the Western Balkans: Aspirations versus reality
One of the main political objectives of Western Balkan (WB) countries/territories is accession into the European Union (EU). From the perspective of the agricultural sector, this implies that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) represents the benchmark for setting their future agricultural policy. This paper analyzes the structure of the currently implemented agricultural policies in the WBs, and their level of harmonization with the CAP. The un…
The Noble or Sour Wine: European Commission’s Competing Discourses on the Main CAP Reforms
In this article, we apply discourse analysis to the European Commission's Communications on reforms of the European Union's Common agricultural policy (CAP). The results of the historical discourse analysis of the European Commission’s strategy documents in the form of Communications on the CAP from 1991 to 2017 showed that the discourse was a hybrid, modified according to the specific political economic context and the European Commission’s need…

New Wine in Old Bottles: Critical Discourse Analysis of the Current Common EU Agricultural Policy Reform Agenda
A critical discourse analysis of two EU agricultural commissioners' speeches in the period 2000-2006 was carried out and substantiated by rational choice theory. The analysis reveals how the latest Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms have been gradually overturning prevailing CAP discourses. The neo-mercantilism discourse that dominated for decades has been replaced by the discourse of multifunctionality. With the change of commissioners in …
