The year 1992 has seen dramatic changes in the political and economic environment surrounding agriculture. For a number of industrial countries this was a year of crucial political choices on national and regional issues. West European countries pursued efforts towards closer integration, despite mounting and unforeseen political and economic difficulties. Market-oriented transformations continued in Eastern Europe and the former USSR in the context of grave economic and social disruptions as well as plummeting agricultural and industrial production. Ethnic and political tensions also developed in this region, introducing further uncertainty about the prospects for an early and orderly consolidation of the transformation process. These tensions degenerated into the outbreak, and escalation throughout 1992, of a devastating armed conflict in former Yugoslavia.
