Lucas presents a collection of nine chapters on recent trade policies and agreements of the U.S. All of the chapters are excerpts of Congressional Research Service reports produced between January and April of 2007--information which is available to the public on the Internet. Topics addressed include a primer on trade concepts, performance, and policy; China's trade with the U.S. and abroad; impacts of trade agreements on the U.S. economy; U.S. trade policy and the Caribbean; labor issues regarding trade promotion authority/fast-track renewal; Mercosur and U.S. trade; the U.S.- Canada WTO corn trade dispute; and U.S.-world merchandise trade data. As with other books from Nova Science Publishers, the editor's credentials are not stated, and the preface--composed of abstracts reproduced from each of the CRS reports--offers no explanatory summary of the text nor criteria for inclusion of the selections.
