Trade liberalization in developed countries: movement toward market control of agricultural trade in the United States, Japan, and the European Union
Article Abstract:
Agricultural protectionism in the US and Japan will only be overcome by maintaining an enlightened global viewpoint on trade liberalization. In both countries, as in the EU and the rest of the world, agriculture is more protected than other industries and more resistant to reform. Protectionism is particularly strong in Japan, so domestic and international pressures are needed to counteract outmoded thinking. Nations must come to realize the hidden cost of protecting agriculture. The GATT, the Uruguay Round agriculture agreement, and Japan's rice trade policy and regulatory system are discussed.

"The quiet revolution": trade and investment liberalization in Chile and Jamaica
Article Abstract:
Chile and Jamaica have made progress towards becoming market economies by emphasizing export growth. General Pinochet's government introduced trade liberalization in Chile during the 1970's and 1980's, and subsequent administrations generally have continued these policies. However, Chile faces severe environmental problems coupled with unrest due to widespread poverty. Jamaica's efforts have been comparatively less successful, and it too is plagued by poverty. Jamaican reforms were introduced by Edward Seaga and generally have been continued by the Manley and Patterson administrations.

Trust but verify: innovation in compliance monitoring as a response to the privatization of utilities in developed nations
Article Abstract:
Social resistance to deregulation of the energy industry in the industrial nations can be overcome by implementing privatized compliance monitoring methods. A deposit-refund pollution control model is a cost-effective incremental way to privatize enforcement by placing compliance burdens on emitters rather than on regulators. Private compliance monitoring can help address issues such as potential environmental damage, regulatory bureaucracy, and lack of funding.
