Diplomatic Food Fights

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

When you hear of diplomatic rows between powerful nations, what's the next move? Recall an ambassador, lodge a complaint with the UN, threaten more trade sanctions? Or you might just slap a ban instead on a popular food commodity coming in or out of your adversary's country. Taraneh Millard of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Monitoring and Irena Taranyuk of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Ukrainian service discuss why food can so often cook up diplomatic disputes between nations.
