Book Synopsis A Negotiator's Guide to Regional Trade Agreements by : Weltbank
Download or read book A Negotiator's Guide to Regional Trade Agreements written by Weltbank and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report maps out the evolving architecture of regional trade agreements concluded by the major trading countries and the countries of East Asia. The report first looks at a group of systemic issues - preferential rules of origin, dispute settlement and trade remedies - and subsequently turns to substantial provisions on market access, intellectual property rights, and competition policy. It also briefly examines the nascent stage of environment and labor clauses. As most favored nations (MFN) tariffs continue to fall, tariff reductions are starting to play a less important role in negotiations with the focus increasingly shifting to regulatory issues. Another notable feature of regional trade agreements (RTAs) negotiated today is that their geographical reach has begun to extend far beyond the traditional close proximity of AFTA, EU, or NAFTA - often making the term "RTA" a misnomer. The goal of this report is to establish patterns and directions across a range of issues covered in RTAs today which are relevant for East Asian policy makers. The report hence looks at pertinent systemic and substantial provisions currently included in RTAs: the first half includes chapters on rules of origin, dispute settlement, and trade remedies (all of these are systemic and pin down the credibility of the concessions made: the extent of enforcement, requirements for qualification, and the ease by which a party may opt out); the second half of this report investigates market access provisions and different sets of rules concerning regulatory issues related to intellectual property rights, competition policy, the environment, and labor. Individual provisions from prominent RTAs concluded between East Asian countries and across the rest of the world will be used throughout for illustrative purposes.
Book Synopsis Trade in Services Negotiations by : Sebasti n S ez
Download or read book Trade in Services Negotiations written by Sebasti n S ez and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims at contributing to address some of the challenge that developing countries, especially the least-developing countries, face in the design of trade in service policies and to provide governments with tools to better incorporate services in their export strategies, including negotiations and cooperation with trading partners, and unilateral reforms. This book helps to identify key policy challenges faced by developing country trade negotiators, regulatory policy officials and/or service suppliers. Management of both policy reforms and trade agreements requires investments in sounder regulatory regimes and the establishment of enforcement mechanisms to help countries gradually opening and mitigate any potential downside risks. A successful strategy requires a proper sequencing that through an orderly and transparent process allows to prepare for greater competition. Developing countries face serious resource and administrative constraints to adequately negotiate multiple services agreements that serve their trade interest. For many developing countries, the administrative burden of handling and negotiating multiple trade agreements has become a serious concern and this can hamper their opportunities to obtain adequate market access for their services exports. The book develops in detail the methodological framework for the construction of a database and the core elements that will comprise it, to help countries to organize and manage their services commitments. Little attention has been devoted to the organization/preparation and the development, assessment and conclusion of the negotiation process. The book presents a simulation exercise designed for policymakers, trade negotiators, and trade practitioners working in the area of services. This exercise will help them to better understand the preparatory and negotiating stages of the process leading to liberalization of trade in services.

Book Synopsis Trade and Globalization by : David A. Lynch
Download or read book Trade and Globalization written by David A. Lynch and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional trade agreements (RTAs) are not new, but their complexity and importance in global economics and politics has grown exponentially in the past two decades. Tackling this daunting proliferation head on, this book provides a much-needed guide to RTAs. Setting current regional agreements in their economic, political, and historical context, David A. Lynch describes and compares every significant RTA, region by region. He clearly explains their intricate inner workings, their webs of collaboration and conflict, and their primary goals and effectiveness. Lynch's deeply knowledgeable study bridges the ideological divides in scholarly and public debate, including economists' emphases on markets and efficiency versus antiglobalization activists' concerns over inequality and social ills. By building a middle ground between micro and macro analysis and clarifying technical terminology, this concise and accessible book will be an invaluable reference for all readers.

Book Synopsis Asymmetric Trade Negotiations by : Sanoussi Bilal
Download or read book Asymmetric Trade Negotiations written by Sanoussi Bilal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The slow pace of the Doha Round has boosted the proliferation of regional and bilateral trade agreements. Paradoxically, the more powerful actors, the US and the European Union, who at the same time have benefited the most from the multilateral system, have also been engaged in bilateral and regional negotiations in order to sign WTO-plus agreements with developing countries. Combining a clear theoretical exposition with systematic cross-regional analysis, 'Asymmetric Trade Negotiations' offers a coherent picture of strategic, design and political economy aspects of North-South trade negotiation processes, from African, Asian and Latin American perspectives. Skilled area specialists gather to provide negotiators and policy makers in the South with recommendations, best practices, and benchmarks and contribute to the understanding of these recent processes.
Book Synopsis Mega-Regional Trade Agreements by : Thilo Rensmann
Download or read book Mega-Regional Trade Agreements written by Thilo Rensmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of "Mega-Regionals", the new generation of trans-regional free-trade agreements (FTAs) currently under negotiation, and their effect on the future of international economic law. The main focus centres on the EU-US Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), but the findings are also applicable to similar agreements under negotiation, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).The specific features of Mega-Regional Trade Agreements raise a number of issues with respect to their potential effect on the current system of international trade and investment law. These include the consequences of Mega-Regionals for the most-favoured-nation (MFN) principle, their relation to the multilateral system of the World Trade Organization (WTO), their democratic legitimacy and their interaction with existing bilateral investment treaties (BITs).The book is intended for academics and practitioners working in the field of international economic law.

Book Synopsis Bilateral and Regional Trade Agreements by : Simon Lester
Download or read book Bilateral and Regional Trade Agreements written by Simon Lester and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-22 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Doha Development Round trade negotiations have stalled, bilateral and regional free trade agreements have become an important alternative. These agreements have proliferated in recent years, and now all of the major trading countries are engaging in serious bilateral trade negotiations with multiple trading partners. This book provides a comprehensive study of recent bilateral and regional trade agreements. There are two main aspects. First, it surveys the most important recent agreements in relation to each substantive topic covered (e.g. intellectual property, investment, services and social policy) and provides an overview of the law being created in these areas. Second, the bilateral and regional trade agreements are explained in the context of economics, international law and international relations.
Book Synopsis The Origin of Goods by : Olivier Cadot
Download or read book The Origin of Goods written by Olivier Cadot and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dark side of preferential trade agreements, Rules of Origin (RoO) are used to determine the eligibility of goods to preferential treatment. Ostensibly meant to prevent the trans-shipment of imported products across Free Trade Agreement borders after superficial screwdriver assembly, they act in reality as complex and opaque trade barriers. This book provides evidence strongly suggesting that they do so by intent rather than accidentally—-in other words, that RoOs are policy. Part one draws insights about the effects of RoOs on cross-border trade and outsourcing from recent economic theory. Part two reviews the evidence on RoOs in preferential agreements around the world, putting together the most comprehensive dataset on RoOs to date. Part three explores their "political economy"—-how special interests have shaped them and continue to do so. Part four provides econometric evidence on their costs for exporters and consequent effects on trade flows. Finally, part five explores how they affect trade in the developing world where they spread rapidly and have the potential to do most harm. Beyond the collection of new evidence and its interpretation in light of recent theory, the book's overall message for the policy community is that RoOs are a potentially powerful and new barrier to trade. Rather than being relegated to closed-door technical meetings, their design should hold center-stage in trade negotiations.
Book Synopsis Regional Trade and Economic Integration by : Ram Upendra Das
Download or read book Regional Trade and Economic Integration written by Ram Upendra Das and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2012 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asia-Pacific region has emerged as a dominant player in trade and will continue to be an influential component of world trade and economics. This book presents an informative outlook on the various regional and trade agreements (RTAs) and their beneficial effects on bilateral trade. In particular, the authors concentrate on India and China, the two major rising powers, and the impact of exchange of information and sharing of resources between these two countries in wide-ranging areas. It provides an incisive analysis and a roundup of all major RTAs and also presents an overview of all major agreements between the countries involved, which might propel their trade numbers and influence future economic engagements. The book also discusses possible obstacles that are encountered during the implementation of RTAs and circumvention routes that can be taken to ensure the successful execution of the agreements. International trade agreements, such as General Agreements on Trade and Tariffs, which have revolutionized the trade dynamics by opening up new areas of trade and formulating specific guidelines for the member countries to adhere to during trade negotiations, are discussed. The book also provides new insights into some of the issues under negotiation, such as sensitive lists, trade, investment cooperation, and trade in services. The existing economic cooperation arrangements in the region as well as those that are at various stages of study and negotiations, empirical insights and policy suggestions are elucidated in detail.
