Abstract
The Farm War was a major crisis for the trade regime and for farmers. The war was evident in disruptions on the farm and in world markets, in conflict among major governments, and in disagreements in international organizations. The origins of the Farm War were rooted in the political economy of agriculture; its resolution in the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations sheds light on the trade regime and its management in the era of globalization.
