    Abstract

    [From the Introduction]. This paper examines the reasons for Germany's paradoxical position on the agriculture issue. In doing so, it focuses on the role of both internal, or domestic, and external (international) factors. The relative importance of domestic and external factors in explaining a nation's foreign economic policy have been amply debated by students of political economy. Among the factors generally included in the former category are the institutional structure of state policymaking, the relative power and influence of interest groups, the nature of partisan and electoral politics, and cultural values and orientations. Those who have emphasized the relative importance of external or international factors have mostly stressed the role of the international structure, consisting of the distributional configuration of political, and economic power among nations; from a nation's relative position within this structural context are derived basic foreign policy needs and interests, although these can also stem from historical experience and cultural and ideological values. Others emphasizing the role of external factors have focused on the potential for both increased economic interdependence and international "regimes," including intergovernmental organizational structures, to affect state behavior.(2)
