Guides for selected items will point to further database resources. | |||||||||

| 8 | Trent Lott, the Southern Shrimp Alliance, and Vietnamese Seafood | Concept Map | Case Reading - Other | glo-trade, glo-dev, mkt-govt, fopo-basic | globalization, political economy, trade, protectionism, dumping | contemporary | United States, Vietnam | ||
| Summary: Case illustrates free trade v fair trade dilemmas regarding development: the irony that successful development leads to greater market competition from new producers - which in turn, encourages old producers to lobby for government intervention and seek a policy of protectionism. In this case, the US successfully supports a Vietnamese industry so that Vietnam develops a comparative advantage in the international market and competes effectively with US producers. Guide points to application of several frames for political economy. | |||||||||
