Description: "Agricultural Trade Policies in the New Millennium consolidates widespread trade research into a one-of-a-kind reference source for economists, academics, and agriculture professionals. It provides a detailed overview of current and potential trade situations, divided into three concise sections: key issues influencing trade negotiations from the perspective of developed and developing countries and the environment, commodity trade issues and trade policy issues for coarse grains, cotton, rice, sugar, and wheat, and general issues related to multilateral and regional trade agreements, including policy tools within the World Trade Organization, antidumping actions, regionalism, price volatility, and the macroeconomic effects of trade liberalization."--BOOK JACKET.
