Corporate versus national interest in US trade policyChiquita and Caribbean bananas /[electronic resource] :by Richard L. Bernal. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - xv, 283 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Objective and Organization -- 2. Corporate Influence in US Trade Policy -- 3. The Importance of Bananas in the Caribbean -- 4. The EU Banana Regime -- 5. Chiquita and Its Influence on US Trade Policy -- 6. Chiquita Overwhelms the Small Caribbean States -- 7. Impact of US Banana Policy on the Caribbean -- 8. Implications for US National Interest in the Caribbean.

This book provides a history of the WTO US-EU banana dispute through the lens of a major actor: the US-owned multinational firm, Chiquita Brands International. It documents and explains how Chiquita succeeded in having the Clinton administration pursue a trade policy of forcing the European Union to dismantle its preferential banana import regime for exports from the small English-speaking Caribbean (ESC) countries. The export of bananas was critically important to the social stability and economic viability of these countries and that was in the national security interest of the United States. The experience indicates that succeeding in this goal was detrimental to U.S. national security interest in the Caribbean.
