Call for Papers

International Agricultural Trade Research Consortium Public Symposium
Bonn, Germany, May 28-30, 2006
“Food Regulation and Trade: Institutional Framework, Concepts of Analysis and
Empirical Evidence”

The conflicts between food safety regulation at the national level and an open international trade system are at the forefront of the trade policy debate. How food safety issues are dealt with in the world trading system is critical for developing countries whose exports might be severely hampered, since they often lack the technical, administrative and financial means to cope with a fragmented system of national food regulations. However, differences in food safety regulation are also prevalent between industrial countries and increasingly have become a source of trade policy conflicts.

The conference will address issues related to food regulation and trade from a theoretical and empirical perspective, taking into consideration the role of the government as well as of the private sector in setting and adjusting food safety regulations.

The IATRC invites submissions of Contributed Papers for the Bonn Public Symposium. Submissions should present results of new research on the topic of the conference. Manuscripts will be selected through a double blind review process.
