Problem
Integrative Case: Garlic, Sugar, and Trade Disputes.
• In global trade, is there really a "level-playing field"? Why or why not? Discuss your opinion on this based on text concepts, in-class discussions, issues in the video/articles, and outside sources.
• Research ongoing issues with sugar subsidies and how the American Sugar Alliance [ASA] lobbies for domestic sugar producers. What should be the role, if any, of non-government agencies in global business, especially as it pertains to the global food supply
• Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of government's intervention in free-trade especially in consideration of the global food supply. Choose two specific trade barriers in effect now (or recent examples of no more than 20 years ago), and indicate why these might have been enacted. What is your opinion? When, if ever, do you think intervention is appropriate? (Use examples beyond the garlic case and sugar subsidies cases mentioned above. There is no shortage of examples on this; use creative "Google"-ing or search the WTO. Also, you can choose countries other than the US.)
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
