Summary "Agricultural Domestic Support Under the WTO The WTO Agreement on Agriculture subjects different groups of developed and developing countries to different limits on domestic support and allows various exemptions from these limits. Offering a comprehensive assessment of the Agreement's rules and implementation, this book develops guidance toward socially desirable support policies. Although dispute settlement has clarified interpretation of the Agriculture and SCM Agreements, gaps remain between the legal disciplines and the economic effects of support. Considering the Agriculture Agreement also in the context of today's priorities of sustainability and climate change mitigation, Lars Brink and David Orden build a strategy that aligns the rules and members' commitments with the economic impacts of agricultural support measures. While providing in-depth analysis of the existing rules, their shortcomings and the limited scope of ongoing negotiations, the authors take a long-term view, where policies directed toward evolving priorities in agriculture are compatible with strengthened rules that reduce trade and production distortions. Lars Brink is independent advisor on agricultural support policies, and Fellow and former President of the Canadian Agricultural Economics Society. He has held positions with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and was a representative in WTO and OECD meetings for many years. Governments, international organizations, academics and interest groups seek his advice. David Orden is Professor of Agricultural and Applied Economics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and a former Senior Fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute. He is an author/editor of five books including Policy Reform in American Agriculture (1999) and WTO Disciplines on Agricultural Support (2011)"-- Provided by publisher
