1. Should China have been admitted into the WTO? Why or why not?
Will admission to the WTO and increased trade result in more openness and prosperity, ultimately improving environmental and labor standards? Or will increased trade result in more widespread abuses? If so, what kind? Should China's admission to the WTO have been conditioned on improvements in human rights, worker safety, and environmental protection? Defend your response.

Do some library and Internet research to learn more about the Green Revolution in South Asia. What has been the extent of the improvement in yields because of the Green Revolution? What have been the costs? Are there other alternatives to the strategies promoted by the Green Revolution?
