Overview
Although it is the second most valuable commodity in the world (after oil), coffee creates very little income for the people who grow it, creating a systemic economic crisis in coffee-producing countries. In this text, Acheson-Brown (political science, Eastern New Mexico U.) proposes an OPEC-style international commodity agreement that would stabilize the price of coffee through a production quota system. He also seeks to identify the factors that influence the formation, continuation, or collapse of such cooperative agreements. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
