Book Description

Today's international trade regime explicitly rejects cultural perceptions of what is safe to eat, overturning millennia of tradition. The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) enshrines "science" as the arbiter in resolving disputes involving this vital human need. This mandate, however, is under attack from many quarters. Critics cite environmental and ethical concerns, unpredictably changing technology, taste, food preferences, local culture, adequacy of governmental implementation of WTO standards, and the reliability of scientific opinion. A basic conflict has crystallized: food as culture versus food as commerce. The WTO/SPS approach is increasingly challenged for its balance in favor of economic considerations, and for its visible undermining of unique cultural identities. This important book explores the relationship between the SPS Agreement, food traditions, science, and technology. It deliberately confronts those trade experts who refuse to allow other social sciences to influence their economics-based trade theory. The author ably investigates the local perception of food and food safety from the anthropological and historical points of view, the evolution of food production technologies, and the medicinal, proscriptive (taboo) and security aspects of food that continue to prevail in nearly all cultures today. She succeeds in demonstrating that, no matter how strong the faith in science and economics, it is unwise to flagrantly dismiss the deeply rooted beliefs of billions of people, a huge majority of the world's population. The Beef Hormones case; the remaining sovereignty related to food safety measures; the increasing significance of "appropriate levels of protection" and "the precautionary principle"; the redefinition of "food hazard" to include production processes as well as food itself; genetically modified seeds and food products; the concept of "risk" in the science-based context of the Codex Alimentarius - these are among the issues and topics covered in depth. The author concludes that, although quick "legal" resolutions of trade disputes about what people should or should not eat might provide a "win" for open trade, support for the entire structure and rationale of the WTO is undermined unless (at the least) some flexibility of interpretation is introduced into the WTO Dispute Resolution System in order to recognize the weight and validity of public opinion. Food safety is arguably the most important issue affecting international commerce today, urgently demanding enlightened discussion and action based on global consensus. This well-researched and thoughtful contribution offers significant clarification and perspective to policymakers, lawyers, academics and others engaged in this critical human drama in progress on the world stage.

Awful, Terrible, Worthless ACADEMIC DRIVEL.......2007-03-26

I hate academics of all kinds. They are all about using big words and talking about airy fairy theory that they have no practical experience in. Truly awful. This so-called marketing CD is painful to listen to. It is so lacking in practical advice. NEVER accept any help or teaching from any academic! You need to learn from true, practicing experts who have years and years of successful experience in the field! Learn from the best REAL marketers, not morons that just went to college, read some silly, useless academic books, and have little or no real world experience. If this is what they teach to MBA's, then MBA's are laughable and I'm glad that they're my competition! Hahahaha. No wonder those guys with college degrees on the Apprentice tv show don't know what they're doing! Ridiculous.

Generic MBA........2007-01-25

Generic text book MBA stuff.-worth the purchase, good leaning tool while stuck in traffic.

Quick, very quick.......2005-03-13

This CD has a lot of great content, however as this is an abridged version, it goes very quick and only skims all the information and doesn't go into the detail I'd like. I'd only use this book as a means for justifing buying the book.
