Agricultural biotechnology and transatlantic trade
This book examines why genetically modified (GM) agricultural crops that are approved as safe in North America (Canada and the USA) are facing significant regulatory hurdles in gaining access to the European Union. It illustrates the challenge of regulatory regionalism created by social regulatory barriers, and proposes a regulatory development and integration strategy capable of overcoming this challenge. Part I of the book establishes the context for analysing regulatory regionalism created by social regulatory barriers. In part II, the challenges of regulatory development are linked with the challenges of regulatory integration. Part III presents a case study of transatlantic regulatory regionalism. Part IV assesses why the traditional trade-diplomacy approach is incapable of addressing the transatlantic regulatory regionalism associated with GM crops. Given this analysis, an amended trade-diplomacy approach is proposed and examined. The book has 8 chapters and a subject index.
