Border disputes between the United States, Canada, and Mexico surrounding agricultural products are widespread and show no signs of decreasing. As the United States increases their agricultural imports while straining under a stagnant level of exports, there is growing tension between trading partners, as is evidenced by the significant increase in trade remedies that are being sought by competing countries. A conference held in Florida, in 2003, that included lawyers, economists, and private sector representatives examined the issues surrounding trade disputes in industries such as lumber, live cattle, wheat, and dairy products. International Agricultural Trade Disputes: Case Studies in North America examines the findings of this conference and analyzes trade disputes and relevant trade issues from 1995 to 2003. Using case studies to consider the complexity of trade disputes this book examines many factors of trade issues such as United States farm policy, the role of politics, and the various trade remedy measures employed in resolving these disputes.
