Book Synopsis World Trade Organization, the European Union, and the Arab World by : Bernard M. Hoekman
Download or read book World Trade Organization, the European Union, and the Arab World written by Bernard M. Hoekman and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: September 1995 The countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have lost the geographic advantage they used to have because of their proximity to the European Union at a time when Eastern Europe was effectively closed to open exchange with the West. The Central and Eastern European countries are beginning to exploit their own proximity, together with relatively low wages and significant stocks of human capital, and are formidable competitors with MENA. To compete, the MENA countries must implement more far-reaching liberalization, privatization, and deregulation. It has been a basic tenet in MENA countries that economic reform must be gradual to avoid causing social disruption. This has often meant little effort publicizing reform and mobilizing political support. Partial and slow reform has led to uncertainty in firms and households and a lack of credibility. The slower the pace of reform and the less comprehensive its scope, the greater the gap between MENA's performance and the rest of the world is likely to become. Without a significant private sector supply response and inward foreign direct investment, political support for reform will be limited, and a vicious circle may result. The creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the offer of the European Union to establish a Euro-Mediterranean Economic Area provide possible institutional frameworks to make a gradual reform strategy more credible. Full participation in the WTO could move the trade regime closer to good practices, improve trade institutions, help lock in trade reform, make trade policy implementation more transparent, diminish bureaucratic red tape, and force firms to go through GATT-sanctioned mechanisms for temporary safeguard protection. An agreement with the European Union to establish a free trade and investment area could offset some of the WTO's regulatory and administrative loopholes, could (by providing financial transfers) overcome resistance to reform, and could ensure investors that MENA governments are committed to far-reaching integration with the European Union. But neither option is a panacea. Both should be pursued simultaneously.

Book Synopsis World Trade Organization by : A. M. Babkina
Download or read book World Trade Organization written by A. M. Babkina and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If ever there existed a benign-sounding organisation, it is surely the World Trade Organisation. The WTO is the successor to GATT. According to the WTO itself, its mission is "dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, the legal ground-rules for international commerce and for trade policy. The agreements have three main objectives: to help trade flow as freely as possible; to achieve further liberalisation gradually through negotiation; and to set up an impartial means of settling disputes". This book seeks to illuminate some key issues related to the WTO as well as present a detailed bibliography for future reference.
Book Synopsis Rethinking the World Trade Order by : Mohammad F. A. Nsour
Download or read book Rethinking the World Trade Order written by Mohammad F. A. Nsour and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) have proliferated at an unprecedented pace since the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Although the WTO legally recognizes countries' entitlement to form RTAs, neither the WTO nor parties to RTAs have an unequivocal understanding of the relationship between the WTO and RTAs. In other words, the legal controversies, the result of uncertainty regarding the application of the WTO/GATT laws, risk undermining the objectives of the multilateral trade system. This research tackles a phenomenon that is widely believed to be heavily economic and political. It highlights the economic and political aspects of regionalism, but largely concentrates on the legal dimension of regionalism. The main argument of the book is that the first step to achieving harmony between multilateralism and regionalism is the identification of the legal uncertainties that regionalism produces when countries form RTAs without taking into account the substantive and procedural aspect of the applicable WTO/ GATT laws. The book calls for the creation of a legal instrument (i.e. agreement on RTAs) that combines all of the applicable law on RTAs, and simultaneously clarifies the legal language used therein. Likewise, the WTO should have a proactive role, not merely as a coordinator of RTAs, but as a watchdog for the multilateral system that has the power to prosecute violating RTAs. The author is aware that political concerns are top priorities for governments and policy makers when dealing with the regionalism problematic. Hence, legal solutions or proposals are not sufficient to create a better international trade system without the good will of the WTO Members who are, in fact, the players who are striving to craft more regional trade arrangements.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook on The World Trade Organization by : Amrita Narlikar
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook on The World Trade Organization written by Amrita Narlikar and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook on the World Trade Organization provides an authoritative and cutting-edge account of the World Trade Organization. Its purpose is to provide a holistic understanding of what the WTO does, how it goes about fulfilling its tasks, its achievements and problems, and how it might contend with some critical challenges. The Handbook benefits from an interdisciplinary approach. The editorial team comprises a transatlantic partnership between a political scientist, a historian, and an economist. The distinguished and international team of contributors to the volume includes leading political scientists, historians, economists, lawyers, and practitioners working in the area of multilateral trade. All the chapters present original and state-of-the-art research material. They critically engage with existing academic and policy debates, and also contribute to the evolution of the field by setting the agenda for current and future WTO studies.The Handbook is aimed at research institutions, university academics, post-graduate students, and final-year undergraduates working in the areas of international organization, trade policy and negotiations, global economic governance, and economic diplomacy. As such, it should find an enthusiastic readership amongst students and scholars in History, Economics, Political Science, International Relations, Public Policy, and Law. Equally important, the book should have direct relevance for diplomats, international bureaucrats, government officials, and other policy-makers and practitioners in the area of trade and economic governance.
Book Synopsis Europe and the Arab World by : Samir Amin
Download or read book Europe and the Arab World written by Samir Amin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-29 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe and the Arab World is a wide-ranging assessment of the prospects for a new relationship between Europe and the Arab world in the coming years. Samir Amin and Ali El Kenz take as their starting point the significantly shifting balance of political forces within the various Arab countries, including the rise of both political Islam and civil society. They argue that the strategic global hegemony of the United States constitutes a major element affecting the Euro-Arab relationship. They then focus on the European Union initiative, originally launched in Barcelona, to put its relations with the Arab countries of the Mediterranean and Gulf regions on a new footing of equality and mutually beneficial cooperation. The authors provide a detailed empirical account of the initiative as well as an historically contextualized, intellectually critical and politically perceptive analysis of the various realities impacting on it. Samir Amin and Ali El Kenz conclude that, while considerable dialogue and even institution-building have taken place in order to give substance to this attempt to go beyond the colonial legacy of inequality and dependence, little of a concrete kind has been achieved in transforming the underlying economic and political relationships between the Arab Islamic and European Christian worlds of the Mediterranean. Among the many obstacles identified are the overriding and economically deleterious impact of globalized capitalism, and the determination of the United States to impose its own political objectives on the Middle East. The timeliness of this book's argument is highlighted by the new tensions that have accompanied the U.S. military occupation of Iraq and the Bush administration's political pretensions to 'bring democracy' to the whole region.
Book Synopsis Impact of European Union Assocation Agreements on Mediterranean Countries by : Mr.Henri C. Ghesquière
Download or read book Impact of European Union Assocation Agreements on Mediterranean Countries written by Mr.Henri C. Ghesquière and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1998-08-01 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By establishing free trade for industrial products in 12 years, the European Union’s Association Agreements with countries in the Mediterranean region seek to promote accelerated economic growth. This paper reviews the literature and evaluates the economic benefits and costs for Tunisia, Morocco, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. It concludes that the benefits could be substantial, but only if accompanied by deep supplementary reforms, including extending trade liberalization to services and agriculture and on a multilateral basis, improving the environment for foreign direct investment, ensuring an adequate fiscal and exchange rate policy response, and strengthening European Union assistance.

This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle East is a region of crises, conflicts and wars as much as it is a region of great potential and opportunity. However, the European Union and its member states have not yet found a viable strategic approach to meet both the challenges and opportunities in their immediate neighbourhood. The Europeans have not yet developed sufficient foreign and security policy mechanisms to pursue their interests effectively. How the European Union can support economic and political transformation processes throughout the region and thus contribute to a more stable, more prosperous and more democratic Middle East remains the subject of intense debate. The objective of this book is to provide a platform for this debate about the European Union's future role as a player in the Middle East, at a crucial moment in EU-U.S.-Middle East relations. As the European Union re-organizes its Mediterranean policies and the United States vote a new president into office, the authors of this book discuss a wide range of topics related to European foreign policy in the Middle East, the Mediterranean and the Gulf region, Europe's role in the Arab-Israeli conflict and the state of transformation processes in the region.

Book Synopsis Intra-Industry Trade of Arab Countries by : Mr.Oleh Havrylyshyn
Download or read book Intra-Industry Trade of Arab Countries written by Mr.Oleh Havrylyshyn and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1997-04-01 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent and ongoing agreements to liberalize trade between the European Union (EU) and Arab countries raises the question as to how the latter will fare in a more competitive environment. This paper uses the Grubel-Lloyd intra-industry trade (IIT) index as an indicator of the degree of industrial specialization to study Arab countries’ ability to compete in a more open trade setting. It concludes that whereas increased specialization has been achieved over the last decade in Arab countries, IIT remains low not only in absolute terms, but even in a cross-country comparison, when normalized for the level of development.

Book Synopsis External Perceptions of the European Union as a Global Actor by : Sonia Lucarelli
Download or read book External Perceptions of the European Union as a Global Actor written by Sonia Lucarelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-16 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the European Union (EU) is perceived beyond its borders in the US; the Middle East: Israel, Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Iran; Russia; China; India; Brazil and South Africa. The book also analyses the main perceptions of the EU in some key international institutions, including the World Bank; World Trade Organization, United Nations, African Union; and transnational actors, including non-Western media such as Al Jazeera. It seeks to provide a thorough analysis of the implications that these perceptions might have for the global role of the EU. By taking this approach and by providing both conceptual and empirical arguments, the volume provides an innovative perspective on the analysis of the EU as a global actor. It also strengthens a research agenda on the EU external image: an underdeveloped area of investigation in which the editors and the main contributors to this volume have played a pioneering role in the past few years. It will be of strong interest to academics and students of international politics, European studies and development studies.
