European Community Enlargement and the United States
Odell, John and Margit Matzinger-Tchakerian

ISBN: 1-56927-130-5 | Published: 1988 | No. Pages: 45

The European Community's (E.C.) 1986 decision to incorporate Spain and Portugal as members meant sharply raising barriers to U.S. feed grain exports to those two countries. Brussels maintained that enlargement of the E.C. would increase U.S. exports of industrial goods, providing adequate overall compensation. Washington insisted that adequate compensation had to benefit agriculture specifically, and a dispute erupted. This case covers the issue and concept of coercion. Students are provided with much of the flow of information that washed over the actual participants.
