SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The transatlantic dispute over genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has brought into conflict the United States and the European Union, two long-time allies and economically interdependent democracies with a long record of successful cooperation. Yet the dispute - pitting a largely acceptant US against an EU deeply suspicious of GMOs - has developed into one of the most bitter and intractable transatlantic and global conflicts, resisting efforts at negotiated resolution andresulting in a bitterly contested legal battle before the World Trade Organization. Professors Pollack and Shaffer invest.
