The Southern African Famine and Genetically Modified Food Aid: The Ramifications for the United States and European Union's Trade WarDepartment of Geography, King's College London, Strand, London WC2R 2LS 3, clare.herrick{at}kcl.ac.uk The 2002 southern African famine marked a new phase in the long-standing trade war between the United States and the European Union over genetically modified organisms. This work will explore how the delivery of genetically modified food aid to the region concretized the ontological disparities between the two trading blocs. In addition, I argue that genetically modified crops necessitate not only new development policy, but new ways of theorizing development itself in the light of globalized systems of food production.
Key Words: genetically modified organisms (GMOs) famine political economy trade
