【摘要】 “政策性农业保险”这个术语已被学界和业界广泛接受，但是关于其确切含义、法律特点及理论依据，还缺乏深入讨论，以至于在法律法规、业务操作等方面都还不够明确或存在不一致的认知。本文讨论了政策性农业保险的内涵、特点和实行原因，回顾和陈述了有关争论，讨论了政策性农业保险的立法特点。本文认为，政策性农业保险是一类借用保险技术和方法为农业支持保护和财政转移支付服务的政策工具，实际上是使用保险“外壳”的财政政策工具；也可以说是由政府或政府指定机构提供支持和管理的农业保险计划，是一种兼具危险财务处理手段和收入转移支付功能的农业支持保护政策。基于国家安全的需要、农业系统性风险以及农业保险的市场失灵等方面的考虑，政府开办了政策性农业保险，其不仅需要政府补贴，还应单独立法、单独经营、单独管理、单独监督。更多还原
