U.S.-Japanese Agricultural Trade Relations

<p>First published in 1982 the editors and authors of this book examine the United States’ 1973 embargo on the export of soybeans and its effects on U.S.-Japanese relations. Although eventually shipment of soybeans to Japan resumed the embargo temporarily soured the friendly relations of the two democracies. This book prepared by a group of Japanese and U.S. scholars demonstrates how trade relations between the two countries are affected by their internal political situations and by the nature of their respective agricultural industries. <i>U.S.-Japanese Agricultural Trade Relations </i>will be valuable to scholars policy makers and others interested in agricultural trade. It should be particularly useful in courses on international trade and on agricultural policy.</p>
