PART 1  |
Despite denials from Europe's Trade Commissioner, Ngaire Woods hears many stories of rough tactics by the big economic powers, including arm-twisting and political pressure. Current and former negotiators describe the power of industrial and agricultural lobbies, and detail successful techniques for keeping the upper hand. Smaller nations find themselves outnumbered and outgunned when they reach the negotiating table. Woods goes behind scenes at international trade talks in this BBC World Service documentary. |
