      abstract = {The world of agriculture which is defined as primary  sector is almost unknown to most of the citizens and  consumers and to all the scientists who are involved in  social sciences.
However agriculture provides interesting  research questions to analyse in many multidisciplinary  fields. Our study is focussed on the public and  “semi-public” institutions at local, national and  international level.
The analysis of the agricultural  policies involves the study of complex actors and actions  in the context of the relationships between Italy and the  European Union, and between the State and the Italian  Regions (viz. The federalism reform). Within this  institutional framework, agricultural policy plays a  crucial role: the CAP (Community Agricultural Policy) for  long time represented the main pillar of the European Union  policy and matter of conflict between the State and some  Regions since 1970.
The study of public policies  determinants for agriculture requires an appropriate  approach. Therefore our choice is to adopt the Multi-Level  Governance (MLG) tool. Previous scientific literature  (Scharpf, 2002; Hooghe, 2001; Hooghe and Marks, 2001)  identified MLG as the most promising research approach to  highlight the main features of the agricultural sector.
The  history of the agricultural policies can be analysed by  three levels of analysis: the national, the European and  the local ones. Moreover we can consider a global level  represented by the World Trade Organisation (WTO)
Our study  adopts the multi-level policy approach for the agricultural  sector to underline the main novelties provided by the  Political Sciences disciplines and to be a contribution for  innovative interdisciplinary research directions.},
