Scholars agree that two central questions in political economy are: How do economic markets become politically regulated? And, once regulated, what determines the allocation of resources within them? To date, little research has been directed at these questions. This project will address these questions by examining the case of the international coffee market. The market is regulated by international agreement. One objective of this research is to examine what led to the elaboration of political rules to govern trade in this commodity. Another objective is to characterize the way in which these rules influence the quantities traded and the price levels maintained in international markets. The study of the political regulation of markets lies at the forefront of theoretical concerns in contemporary social science. The research is also important for policy reasons. Coffee represents one of the most valuable exports from the unstable countries of Central and Southern America. Understanding the way in which trade in this commoditiy is governed is thus of great interest, for it may help policy makers to restructure the rules of the agreement so as to bring greater prosperity to these strategically important nations.

学者同意，政治经济学中的两个核心问题是：经济市场如何受到政治监管？ 而且，一旦受到监管，是什么决定了其中的资源分配？ 迄今为止，几乎没有研究这些问题。 该项目将通过研究国际咖啡市场的情况来解决这些问题。 市场受到国际协议的监管。 这项研究的一个目的是研究导致政治规则管理这种商品贸易的原因。 另一个目的是表征这些规则影响交易数量以及国际市场中维持价格水平的方式。 对市场的政治监管的研究在于当代社会科学中理论关注的最前沿。 由于政策原因，该研究也很重要。 咖啡代表了中美洲和南部不稳定国家最有价值的出口之一。 因此，了解这种商品贸易的管理方式是极大的利益，因为它可以帮助政策制定者重组协议规则，从而为这些战略上重要的国家带来更大的繁荣。
