Review: "When genetically engineered seeds were first deployed in the Americas in the mid-1990s, the biotechnology industry and its partners envisaged a world in which their crops would be widely accepted as the food of the future, providing a growing population with improved nutrition and offering farmers more sustainable production options. Critics, however, raised a variety of social, environmental, economic, and health concerns regarding engineered crops. This clash in perspectives led to a protracted international struggle over the establishment of regulations for genetically engineered organisms (GEOs)." "Genetically Modified Diplomacy traces the emergence of a key outcome of this struggle - the 2000 Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety - and the discourse of precaution toward GEOs that the protocol institutionalized internationally."--Jacket
