The World Economy Global Trade Policy 1996

This book is the second in an annual series in which top economists provide a concise and accessible summary of policy development, GATT country reviews and special issues on international trade over the past year. Over a number of years the series will create a valuable reference resource, acting as a vehicle for stimulating interest in current trade policy issues both at the regional level and at the global level.This volume contains evaluations of several WTO trade policy reports and analyses of trade policy and environmental protection, competition policy and future trade negotiations, the OECD's role in trade and investment liberalization, regionalism's bias against agriculture, and EU membership for Eastern European countries. TPRMs examined include Japan, the EU, Canada, Israel, Indonesia, and Zimbabwe.
