Agricultural Biotechnology and Transatlantic Trade: Regulatory Barriers to GM Crops

by CABI

Overview

Genetically modified (GM) agricultural crops which are approved as safe in North America (Canada and the United States) are facing significant regulatory hurdles in gaining access to the European Union. The development and commercialization of GM crops illustrate a complex challenge facing trade diplomacy - the challenge of regulatory regionalism created by social regulatory barriers.

From the Publisher

In an attempt to account for the regulatory hurdles faced by genetically modified (GM) agricultural crops approved as safe in the US but facing major regulatory hurdles in gaining access to the European Union, Isaac (management and marketing, U. of Saskatchewan, Canada) provides a study aiming to identify the challenge of transatlantic regulatory regionalism and social regulatory barriers to trade diplomacy, As well, he proposes a regulatory development and integration strategy that he argues could overcome regulatory regionalism while remaining sensitive to the regional differences in regulatory development. Intended for academics, students, policymakers, and others interested in the regulation and trade of genetically modified agricultural crops. Distributed by Oxford U. Press. Annotation c.
