- Title
The Politics of the U.S. Agricultural Research Establishment: A Short Analysis.
- Authors
McCalla, Alex F.
- Abstract
This paper discusses the set of organizations, public and private, which fund and/or do agricultural research in the United States. Its purpose is to attempt to unravel the "politics" of that establishment. The name "research establishment" might imply a unitized, cohesive organization dedicated to a collectively agreed upon common purpose. It is the thesis of this paper that such a characterization is not accurate. Rather the "agricultural research establishment" is a morass of Loosely related, sometimes complementary, sometimes competitive, organizations, so intertwined with the 'publics' they serve that it defies simple definition.
