Making Middle Powers Great Again

I argue that the Cairns Group offers a useful template for cooperation among “middle powers”. A nice historical example from agricultural trade!

@Sunghun_Lim Thanks! It was fun to write.

Instead of the usual analysis of ag/env/trade policy, this week's post aims to give readers some insights into academic life. I hope economists/non-economists find it amusing/useful.

My latest post discusses the potential trade and spatial implications of Canada's regulated system of dairy production, supply management.
TL/DR: Canada's production per person is extremely uniform compared to U.S.; homogenized, you might say.
