La fabrique du consensus politique: le debat sur la politique agricole commune et ses raports à l'environnement en Europe
2013
Based on the example of the debate on the rela-
tions between the Common Agricultural Policy
(CAP) and the environment, this article offers a
longitudinal analysis of a public problem definition.
Focusing on actor struggles, it shows how, in
twenty years, the vision of the relations between
the CAP and the environment carried out by some
environmentalists has become dominant at the
European level, generating a large and tacit
consensus. Three complementary elements are
identified to explain political consensus produc-
tion: the use of
“
science
”
allows projecting a
seemly depoliticized and universal worldview, pro-
mising an inevitable future; the plasticity of the
logic of this vision enables various appropriations,
likely to integrate diverse interests; finally, legal
consecration of this vision favors a phenomenon
of symbolic impact.
