Global Business - who sets our standards

Here is a brief recommendation to those studying globalisation to listen to this programme from the BBC World Service. Presented by Peter Day, it examines the way in which standards are set for the goods we import and consume:‘World trade in goods and services - from the butter on your bread to the existence of the mobile phone - is held together by an invisible web of standards set by all kinds of official and semi official organisations.’ Potentially useful in considering patterns of international trade, regulation, and comparative and competitive advantage.
