这项研究考察了尼斯条约的制度规定和欧洲联盟(EU)的宪法改革将如何影响扩大后的欧盟的农业决策。尽管农业部门是欧盟的一个核心政策领域，但在10个相对较小和贫穷的国家加入欧盟后，我们对机构改革的影响知之甚少，每个国家都有一个庞大的初级部门。基于投入产出税收模型，我们确定了新老成员国在欧盟农业政治二维空间中的地位。这使我们能够调查，如果《尼斯条约》关于有条件的多数表决的规定被2004年宪法草案的规定取代，安理会的决策是否以及如何改变。我们的分析表明，宪法是一种进步，规定了更多的政策变化，但它落后于拉肯提议，该提议将有效地改革欧盟的农业决策。
This study examines how the institutional provisions of the Nice Treaty and the constitutional reform of the European Union (EU) will affect agricultural decision-making in the enlarged EU. Although the agricultural sector is a core EU policy domain, we have little knowledge about the effects of institutional reform following the accession of 10 relatively small and poor countries, each having a large primary sector. Based on an input–output taxation model, we identify the positions of old and new member states in the twodimensional space of EU agricultural politics. This allows us to investigate whether and how Council decision-making will change if the Nice Treaty’s provisions for qualified majority voting are replaced by those of the draft constitution of 2004. Our analysis shows that the constitution is an advance providing for more policy change but it falls behind the Laeken proposal, which would have effectively reformed EU agricultural decision-making.
