    International Trade Social Justice + Equity Implications

    * Regional Trade Agreements link individual countries or regions, and are a good arrangement between equal partners with similar-sized economies. But when a rich country has a trade agreement with a poor one, the richer, stronger economy always benefits – particularly in Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), which often remove the poor country’s right to use tariffs and quotas to protect its own industries and farms from cheap imports.…

    Explain the Purpose Behind the Wto’s Doha Round of Trade Negotiations. Why Has This Round Proved so Difficult to Conclude? What Are the Likely Consequences for the World Economy If the Doha Round Fails?

    The World Trade Organization has proven to be the top most successful joint trade institution of the 20th century. In spite of the lack of a central authority, the WTO has sustained trade assistance for the better half of the last five decades. Over which time the influence of the association has increased both in terms of developed and underdeveloped country membership, as well as achieving significant expansion and scope of its original mandate, but not without its problems. Yet despite numerous setbacks the WTO remains an important facilitator of world trade. What other World institution has the ability to settle international trade disputes (for panel and appellate bodies), within a suggested 16 months, (Hohmann, 2008).…

    The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business. Where countries have faced trade barriers and wanted them lowered, the negotiations have helped to open markets for trade. But the WTO is not just about opening markets, and in some circumstances its rules support maintaining trade barriers for example, to protect consumers or prevent the spread of disease.…

    North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta)

    North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta)

    NAFTA, The North American Free Trade Agreement, came into existence on January 1, 1994. NAFTA is basically a free-trade agreement between the three North American countries of the Unites States, Canada, and Mexico. The main idea behind this treaty was to provide the people and the businesses of the North American countries many incentives to trade amongst each other. The duties on U.S goods shipped to Mexico were reduced by 50 percent, and other restrictions were to be removed from many categories, such as motor vehicles, computers, automotive parts, and agricultural goods. NAFTA was also put into action in order to protect the intellectual property rights of the businesses, such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Other supplemental agreements were also signed in later years, which allowed for worker and environmental protection. Although many people might think that the NAFTA is like the EU (European Union), it is quite different. NAFTA, unlike EU, does not set up a collection of supranational governmental bodies, nor creates any law that is superior to the national law of each of the member countries (Wikipedia; International Trade Canada).…

    International Trade Simulation

    I am advising the president of Rodamia recommendations for international trade. International trade is the exchanging of goods and services with one another. Many countries have particular resources that are not obtainable in the other, to meet the desires and wants of both countries so they trade. Many advantages and limits are concerned with trading. Benefits occur for each country, but there are many additional limits put into place to manage the amount and quality of international trade.

    Is the World Trade Organization Good?

    Membership of the World Trade Organisation has often been a key tool for governments seeking to enhance the credibility of trade reform and to provide firms with a more predictable external trading environment. At the same time, successive rounds of multilateral trade liberalisations have highlighted the difficulties that many low-income countries are facing in capturing the benefits of more open markets. In these countries, governments, institutions and enterprises often lack capacities, e.g. information, policies, procedures and/or infrastructure, to compete effectively in global markets and take full advantage of the opportunities that are offered through international trade (OECD Journal on Development, 2007).…
