The World Economy: Global Trade Policy 2007

The World Economy: Global Trade Policy 2007 is the fourteenth in an annual series in which leading economists provide a concise and accessible evaluation of major developments in trade and trade policy. Each annual volume examines key issues pertinent to the multinational trading system, as well as regional trade arrangements and policy developments at the national level. Each volume also provides assessments of the World Trade Organization′s recent Trade Policy Reviews.
The 2007 issue analyses trade policy in areas such as Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago as well as revealing the national security concerns that have become a dominant influence on US trade policy since 2001. This year’s special focus examines the Doha Round where contributors evaluate the winners and losers from trade liberalisation and investigate the cotton initiative of the WTO′s Doha Development Agenda.
