Recent Antidumping Cases Involving Companies in Russia and Ukraine

Abstract:     
This paper begins with a discussion of antidumping laws in general and how they have been applied by U.S. domestic producers to target Russian and Ukrainian companies. The use and abuse of antidumping laws by the steel industry in the United States is then discussed, followed by discussions and analyses of selected antidumping cases involving Russian and Ukrainian companies and industries. The paper then applies ethical theory to antidumping and concludes that the only ethical solution is repeal rather than reform of the antidumping laws.
