Beskrivning

Tim Josling and Stefan Tangermann's Transatlantic Food and Agricultural Trade Policy traces the past fifty years of transatlantic trade relations in the area of food and agricultural policy, from early skirmishes over farm policies to on-going conflicts over biotech foods and hormone use in animal rearing.The authors take an analytical approach to the causes of transatlantic conflict and the extent to which these trade tensions in agricultural markets have reflected wide differences in policy approaches and levels of support. They explore the role played by international rules, in the GATT, and subsequently the WTO, in disciplining farm price support policies to allow for more open markets. The book also points to possible ways to end five decades of transatlantic trade tensions in the area of food and farm products.Scholars, practitioners and policymakers will find this timely book an invaluable and comprehensive guide to the causes of, and solutions to, the persistent EU-US trade conflicts in agricultural and food policy.

'Two of the world's brightest academic and economic minds convene and draw a precise picture of how US-EU trade relations in food and agriculture developed in the last 50 years. Timothy E. Josling and Stefan Tangermann take you behind the scenes of intense transatlantic negotiations and show you who pulls the strings on both sides of the Atlantic. The book is a must read for all who want to better understand the workings of current transatlantic negotiations and future global regulations related to food policy.'
