Includes bibliographical references (p. 379-425) and index. Introduction and overview : biotechnology, risk regulation, and the failure of cooperation -- The domestic sources of the conflict : why the US and EU biotech regulatory regimes differ -- The promise and failure of transatlantic regulatory cooperation through networks -- Deliberation or bargaining? : distributive conflict and the fragmented international regime complex -- WTO dispute settlement meets GMOS : who decides? -- US and EU policies since 2000 : change, continuity and (lack of) convergence -- Conclusions : the lessons of transatlantic conflict, developing countries and the future of agricultural biotechnology. The dispute over genetically modified organisms has brought the US & the EU into conflict. This book examines the dynamic interactions of domestic law & politics, transnational networks, international regimes, & global markets, through a theoretically grounded & empirically comprehensive analysis of the governance of GM foods & crops. |
