An examination of policy development for the organic sector focuses primarily on regulatory arrangements.  The core of the analysis applies some prominent themes in the policy network literature to the organic sector: the debate about sectoral and sub-sectoral networks, the relationship between networks, context and outcomes, and the role of the state and ideas in promoting policy change. - Reproduced.  aAgriculture - Ireland  aAgriculture - Great Britain  aAgriculture  aPublic Administration
