Implications for US National Interest in the Caribbean. 330 $aThis book provides a history of the WTO US-EU banana dispute through the lens of a major actor: the US-owned multinational firm, Chiquita Brands International. It documents and explains how Chiquita succeeded in having the Clinton administration pursue a trade policy of forcing the European Union to dismantle its preferential banana import regime for exports from the small English-speaking Caribbean (ESC) countries. The export of bananas was critically important to the social stability and economic viability of these countries and that was in the national security interest of the United States. The experience indicates that succeeding in this goal was detrimental to U.S. national security interest in the Caribbean. . 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aLatin America$xEconomic conditions 606 $aInternational Economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aLatin American/Caribbean Economics 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aLatin America$xEconomic conditions. 615 14$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aLatin American/Caribbean Economics. 676 $a382.30973 676 $a330 700 $aBernal$b Richard L.$0856370 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863162903321 996 $aCorporate versus national interest in US trade policy$91912487 997 $aUNINA
