in favour of drowning sea turtles in fishing nets so that people can eat cheaper
shrimp?
You may ask if such standards deserve to be attacked. If voters want to conserve sea turtles, ban shoddy
imports and stamp out salmonella, democratic politicians surely have a duty to respond. Perhaps these
trade barriers simply reflect genuine consumer concern. Perhaps. Mr Kono looks at several proxies for
consumer sensitivities, including the stringency of a country s environmental regulations, the purity of its
water and the number of quality-marks its companies receive from the International Organisation for
Standardisation. Countries t fuel dispenser hat fiercely enforce safety, greenery and quality at the border are not, he
concludes, especially anxious to enforce these things at home.
In other cases, however, governments have promised to fight dumping in order to win support for radical
trade reform. Several of Latin America s young democracies, for example, were keen to slash tariffs and
peg their exchange rates to fight inflation. They promised to defend companies fuel dispenser against super-cheap
imports as a way to sugar this free-trade pill. Mexico, for example, launched 83 antidumping
investigations in 1993, more than any other country. But this was partly to shore up support for the
North American Free-Trade Agreement.
Trade is probably still freer under democracies than under the alternatives. It is just that this hunch, as
Mr Kono shows, is more difficult to prove than previous scholars had thought. Which is more damaging to
trade a tariff on Mexico s tuna or a demand that its fishermen show greate fuel dispenser r courtesy to dolphins? The
answer is obscure, optimally so.
