I gotta write a 12 page report on a WTO dispute active or past, for my economics of international trade class. I'm thinking the Softwood lumber subsidy disputes Between U.S. And Canada but only because i am vaguely familiar with them. Anyone know of any other interesting WTO or NAFTA Disputes/ cases/ rulings ?

Dx im looking to you buddy. Im happy to do softwood but i feel like alot of the class may default too it. (needs to be politically consequential, doesnt need to be north american or involve a north american party)

Softwood is a pretty interesting case, where the limits of what consists a "subsidy" are tested. Do you need to apply models like Heckscher-Ohlin to illustrate your point, or is it just a write up?

E: A pretty vanilla case that has loads of information out there is Thailand's tariffs on cigarettes, so you could easily use that as an alternative

Discussing the economic impact to the various stakeholders and the political factors that may have foreshadowed the dispute or caused the dispute to come to fruition.

And Heckscher-Ohlin is just comparative advantage right? I haven't learnt it under that title but yes we will be discussing that as well.

Im just gonna go ahead and do softwood because its really easy to make work. was just seeing if anyone had a more unique example

e/ ty man ill take a look at that one, i've kind of sold my self on soft wood because if been looking at it for the last 20, but good to have options

Yeah your professor is gonna be prepared to get a lot of papers on softwood. Could work either for or against you, since he/she knows the canned responses to look for so he/she can scan through the paper and award a grade based on seeing those responses.
I'd write on drugs, gambling, or prostitution. Those are potent and interesting topics with a LOT of variety between free trade countries.
