Prof. Shaffer Presents New Book, Sept 15 at Humphrey Institute
Professor Gregory Shaffer will present his new book "When Cooperation Fails: The International Law and Politics of Genetically Modified Foods" (Oxford University Press, 2009) at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota on Tuesday, Sept 15. The talk will take place from 12:45-2:00 p.m. in Room 170 at the Humphrey Institute. It is sponsored by the Freeman Center for International Economic Policy.
The book addresses the dynamic interactions of domestic law and politics, transnational networks, international regimes, and global markets, through an analysis of the governance of genetically modified foods and crops. It assesses the impacts, and the limits, of international pressures on domestic U.S. and European law, politics, and business practice, which have remained strikingly resistant to change.
