Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the WTO US-EU banana dispute, this book examines the pivotal role of Chiquita Brands International in shaping U.S. trade policy under the Clinton administration. It reveals how Chiquita influenced efforts to dismantle the EU's preferential banana import system, crucial for the economic stability of small English-speaking Caribbean nations. Despite achieving its goal, the book argues that this success ultimately undermined U.S. national security interests in the region, highlighting the complex interplay between corporate influence and international relations.
