Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional trade agreements (RTAs) have proliferated around the world in the past two decades, and now nearly all members of the WTO are party to at least one. Besides tariffs and rules of origin regulating trade in goods, many RTAs now include provisions on services, investments, technical barriers to trade and competition rules, as well as a host of issues not directly related to trade. The geographic reach of RTAs is expanding, with transcontinental agreements spreading forcefully alongside intra-regional agreements. 'Multilateralizing Regionalism' was the title of a major conference held from 10–12 September 2007 at the WTO in Geneva. Brought together in this publication, the conference papers achieve two things. First, they marshall detailed, new empirical work on the nature of the 'Spaghetti Bowl' and the problems it poses for the multilateral trade system. Second, they contribute fresh and creative thinking on how to 'tame the tangle' of regional trade agreements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the efficiency of trade liberalization in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)/World Trade Organization (WTO) framework. The book analyzes the relationship between GATT/WTO and related international institutions, such as the Generalized System of Preferences and regional trade agreements. While the analyses are also based on theoretical models, the workhorse of the study is the well-known gravity model framework, in conjunction with vector auto-regressive analysis. The various analyses highlight the role of GATT/WTO as an important player in global trade: a) GATT/WTO has a substantial promoting effect on international trade; b) trade promotion of developing countries should best be served by GATT/WTO, rather than by preferential schemes under the Generalized System of Preferences; and c) GATT/WTO is not undermined by the proliferation of regional trade agreements - rather regional trade agreements stimulate multilateral trade liberalization under GATT/WTO.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and the Center for Business and Government at Harvard University publication The multilateral trading system stands at a crossroads. Despite its widely acknowledged contribution to global prosperity over the past half century, the movement toward further liberalization has increasingly been challenged. These essays by leading scholars and trade officials honor Raymond Vernon, one of the architects of the international economic institutions established following the Second World War. The book examines several key issues at the heart of the debate over the multilateral trading system. What are the global efficiency gains from further liberalization? How can efficiency gains be maximized while respecting legitimate claims to sovereignty? Is the trading system affording an equitable distribution of benefits between countries and among various groups within societies? Does civil society have a role in the trading system? What role should the World Trade Organization and its dispute settlement procedures play in resolving disputes and enhancing legitimacy?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Political Economy of the World Trading System is a comprehensive textbook account of the economics, institutional mechanics and politics of the world trading system. This third edition has been expanded and updated to cover developments in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) since its formation, including the Doha Round, presenting the essentials of trade negotiations and the WTO's rules and disciplines. The authors focus in particular on the WTO's role as the primary organisation through which trading nations manage their commercial interactions and the focal point for cooperation on policy responses to the rapidly changing global trading environment. It is the forum in which many features of the globalisation process are considered, and it currently faces an unprecedented set of challenges. The increasing importance of countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa in international trade relations, the revealed preference towards regionalism, intensification of trade conflicts, the role of business groups and NGOs in trade policy formation and negotiations, and pressures for more leadership in an institution threatened by paralysis are examples of issues that are discussed in some detail; all are critical for the operation of the system and for international business in the coming decade. This edition also includes numerous real-world examples to illustrate how the WTO impinges on business, workers and households, written from the perspective of managers and business associations. An insider's view of the institutional history of the WTO allows the authors to use a variety of conceptual tools to analyse the working of the WTO in a non-technical manner. Suggestions for Further Reading at the end of each chapter and an extensive bibliography make the volume suitable both for introductory and postgraduate courses on international economics and business, international relations, and international economic law.

Book excerpt: "This volume provides an analytical approach to most of the major items on the agenda of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations, which was convened in 1986 under the auspices of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)." "The Uruguay Round negotiating agenda is ambitious in scope, consisting of such topics as barriers to trade, sectoral issues, and GATT rules, and a number of topics that had not been addressed in previous negotiations. The Multilateral Trading System begins with an introduction and overview of the issues, followed by two chapters that put the Uruguay Round in context and provide some historical perspective relating to previous GATT negotiations. The bulk of the volume consists of twelve analytical chapters that address many of the central issues, including tariffs and nontariff barriers; dumping; safeguards; agriculture; services; trade-related intellectual property rights; and trade-related investment measures. The concluding chapters deal with options for change, focusing on trade-offs, coalitions, and national interests and on suggestions for the design of a new constitution to govern the global trading system." "The Multilateral Trading System deals with issues of central importance in the global trading system. It will be of particular interest to specialists in international trade and staff economists in national and international agencies. Specialists and students in political science, law, and business administration will also find much that is useful."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in multilateral negotiations to liberalize trade under the World Trade Organization (WTO) has become more difficult since newer members are generally developing countries with different interests than the United States, the European Union and other industrialized countries. More than 250 free trade agreements (FTAs) have come into effect since 1948. Partly as a result of the WTO impasse, over 130 FTAs have been ratified just in the past ten years; each agreement has been designed to eliminate trade restrictions and subsidies between the parties involved. Almost all of the WTO Members participate in one or more FTAs (some Members are party to twenty or more). Most books on FTAs are country- or region-specific, while others deal with the subject from a particular perspective. This timely work, produced by some of the world's leading experts in their respective fields, employs a broader approach exploring FTAs from the interdisciplinary perspectives of international law, political economy, culture and human rights

Book excerpt: Studies in International Institutional Dynamics, 2 (International Studies Library, 18) This volume presents an authoritative and cutting-edge account of the evolving multilateral trading system and the challenges that it faces today. It focuses on details affecting the Doha negotiations and also addresses broader themes of leadership, changing balances of power, and institutional limitations of the WTO. Six country-cases of the established and rising powers, along with two chapters on the critical intervening variable of coalitions, offer new insights into problems and opportunities available in the multilateral trading system. The Introduction and Conclusion, co-authored by the two editors, ensure that the resulting volume will provide an accessible, holistic, and cohesive understanding of leadership and change in the multilateral trading system.

The post-war international architecture was designed and created by the hegemon - the United States. This book is an important addition to a growing literature on the multipolar world. There is still a hegemon, but with less and less power. The post-war partner Europe is more and more concerned with domestic issues. And there is a growing collection of coalitions. Thus, for example, there are the BRICs - Brazil, Russia, India and China - and the BICS - Brazil, India, China and South Africa - and lots of Gs. And BEEs or big emerging economies. Yet no coherent view of the trading system has emerged! There's a famous doggerel from the Bretton Woods negotiations: 'In Washington, Lord Halifax whispered to Lord Keynes, they've got all the money bags and we've got all the brains!' Today, as this excellent collection of studies illustrates, much of the money bags are in, say, China. And the brains are spread out all over the place. This is essential reading to begin to understand the emerging new world order. Or disorder? Sylvia Ostry, Distinguished Research Fellow, Munk Centre for International Studies

This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, Aligarh Muslim University (Department of Economics), language: English, abstract: The fundamental principles of the multilateral trading system is to help trade flow as freely as possible, on the one hand, and deal with disputes over trade issues on the other. The expansion of trade has played a dynamic role in the growth of the global economy since World War II. Trade is important for the development of all types of economies. But its sustained growth calls for a free and fair Multilateral trading system. A trading system that is rule based helps in the expansion of trade. Similarly, a trading system that lowers trade barriers through negotiations and applies the principle of non-discrimination promotes trade from developing countries. Further, the trading system that allows disputes to be settled effectively and constructively has the added advantage for the developing countries. The world trading system under the WTO promises all but its working over the past years since its establishment has revealed that the pace and pattern of implementation by different member countries have not been uniform. More powerful players in the trade space have evolved many new instruments of safeguarding their national interest while the weaker players have been forced to implement their commitments. This has generated asymmetries in the pattern of effective market access in the different countries of the world economy. In the light of the above, our objective in this study is primarily to examine the role of Multilateral trading system under the WTO in promoting international trade of developing countries in general and that of India in particular. The purpose of this paper is (a) to discuss the importance of trade and trading system for developing countries in general and India in particular (b) to discuss the asymmetries exist under the WTO which effect the development
