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)

http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/dispu_status_e.htm

Good list. Don't do softwood because everyone is doing it.

A good active topic right now is the EU and Russia. We hear a lot about sanctions but there's quite a bit of legal framework behind them, with the EU and Russia trading WTO complaints back and forth over sanctions. A paper on the WTO and sanctions is definitely politically consequential. Sounds like it's a Poli. Sci/IR course so that's probably a strong topic. If you can find sources.

it really all depends a 1080p mkv is prob like 1.5g but mp4 prob like 3g
i like mp4 cuz it works on my ps3 where as mkv not so much so yifys 720p rip thats usually like a gig n a bit .mp4... perfect
specially since my tv is only 720p and i barely watch anything on pc anymore
