The document discusses the history of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), a multilateral trade agreement that was succeeded by the World Trade Organization in 1995. It describes the nine rounds of global trade negotiations held under GATT between 1947-1995, where member countries negotiated reductions in tariffs and other trade barriers. Key rounds included the Kennedy Round from 1962-1967, where $40 billion in tariffs were eliminated, and the Uruguay Round from 1986-1994, which expanded GATT's competence into new areas and saw developing countries play an active role. The document also lists some pros and cons of GATT, such as encouraging international trade but exposing domestic industries to more global competition.

Pomfred, richard discriminatory trade policies ed. 1991 cap 15Martin Gentili
- The document discusses discriminatory trade policies, which violate the principle of most favored nation (MFN) treatment in international trade agreements.
- Many trade policies that are meant to be nondiscriminatory, such as quotas, end up favoring some trading partners over others in practice. Governments also directly implement discriminatory policies through preferential tariffs and discriminatory trade agreements.
- There is a tension between the widespread use of discriminatory policies by governments and international trade agreements that are based on the principle of nondiscrimination like the GATT/WTO.
Globalization refers to the increasing integration of economies around the world through the free flow of goods, services, capital, technology and people across borders. The term became mainstream in business in the 1980s due to an article by Theodore Levitt. A series of agreements and institutions established global trade norms after WWII, including GATT and later the WTO in 1995. Companies pursue global expansion to gain economies of scale, diversify risk from dependence on one market, and access lower production costs abroad. The process tends to start slowly, beginning with indirect exports and gradually progressing to direct investment and local production as knowledge and experience in foreign markets increases over time.

also a welfare loss because it reflects a reduction in
consumer surplus with no offsetting gain to anyone'
Thus, areas b and d in panei (b) of Exhibit 8 measure
the minimum U.S' welfare loss from the quota' If the
frofit from quota dghts (area c) accrues-to

Quotas *m Practsee
The United States has granted quotas to specific
countries. These countries, in turn' distribute these
q"o," tignO to their exporters tfrro.uSh a variety of
i-,u"r,t. iy rew ar ding domestic and foreign producers with
higher prices, the quota system creotes two -groups
inlent
oi rrriring and'perpetuating these quotas' Lobbyists for
foreign producers work the halls of Congress'
seeking
tf,e rlghl to export to the United States' This strong
r"pp"t, from pioducers, coupled with a lack ofoppo-
sition from consumers (who remain rationally
igno-
rant for the most part), has resulted in quotas that
have lasted decades. For example, sugar
quotas have
been around more than 50 years' In January
zoog' the
world price of sugar was about $o'rz a pound' but
U.S. businesses that need sugar to make
products'
su.h u, candy, paid more than $o'zo a pound' costing
consumers an extra $z billion annualiy' Sugar grow-
"rr,
*ho account for only r percent of-U,S' farm sales'
have accounted for r7 percent of political contribu-
tions from agriculture since r99o'1
Some economists have argued that if quotas are
to be used, the United States should auction
them off
to foreign producers, thereby capturing at
}east some
of the dlfference between the world price
and the U'S'
pri.". A.t.tioning off quotas would not only increase
federai revenue Uut would reduce the
profitability of
qrro,"r, which would reduce pressure on

Free trade involves the exchange of goods between countries without restrictions like tariffs or quotas. Early economic theories like mercantilism supported government control over trade to accumulate wealth, while later theorists like Adam Smith and David Ricardo argued that free trade allows countries to specialize and benefit from comparative advantage. While classical theories supported free trade, many countries adopted protectionist policies due to arguments around infant industries, national defense, and unemployment. Since WWII, organizations like GATT and the WTO have worked to gradually reduce trade barriers, but free trade remains a controversial issue.
This document provides an overview of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It discusses that the WTO is the international organization that oversees global trade rules between nations. The WTO aims to ensure trade flows freely and predictably. It was established in 1995 but built upon the multilateral trading system originally set up under GATT over 50 years prior. The document outlines several key principles and agreements of the WTO system including most favored nation status, national treatment, and agreements on agriculture, services, intellectual property and other areas.

Supranational Organizations
and International Institutions
“Mankind always takes up only such problems as it thinks it can solve.”
—Albert O. Hirschman
Chapter ObjeCtives
this chapter will:
• Identify major international trade organizations, such as the World Trade
Organization and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development,
and the roles they play in shaping the international business environment
• Describe the major financial institutions, such as the World Bank and
the International Finance Corporation, and the assistance they provide in
channeling financial resources to developing countries
• Review the growth of regional financial institutions and their important
positions as providers of financial resources
BaCkground
Increasing economic, financial, and commercial interdependence among nations of the
world after World War II created a need to coordinate international action and policies
to secure the smooth flow of trade. Apart from regular, periodic meetings of officials
and business leaders from different countries, these nations recognized a need for the
establishment of permanent organizations to provide stability and continuity to the
process of international economic interchange. Some supranational bodies were set
up in the period immediately following World War II, while more were established

in the following decades. Two major categories of international organizations can be
identified as those having a global focus and those set up to meet the needs of particular
regions.
general agreeMent on tariFFs and trade
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was established initially as
a temporary measure to reduce trade barriers among its founding members. Since its
inception in 1947, GATT evolved into a permanent body to include most industrial and
developing countries, excluding those of the socialist bloc.
GATT was originally established to avoid the kind of competitive protectionism
that had plagued international trade in the period between the two world wars, which
was reflected in high tariff barriers and a major slump in trade volumes. The objectives
of GATT—liberalization of international trade restrictions and the lowering of tariff
barriers—were to be achieved by multilateral negotiations and voluntarily agreed-upon
rules of conduct. As a permanent international body, GAT ...
This document provides a 19,469 word MA thesis analyzing how modern international trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) may negatively impact economic development in Latin American countries, similarly to how "unequal treaties" in the 19th century underdeveloped the region. The thesis will examine the effects of market access, deregulation, intellectual property rights, and investor arbitration provisions in these agreements. It argues that aspects of dependency theory can help understand the context and motivations behind the agreements. The introduction provides background on unequal treaties, dependency theory, and relevant literature to support analyzing modern trade deals through this framework.
The document summarizes several key topics related to world trade:
1) It outlines the main world institutions associated with world trade, including the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization, and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
2) It explores the main economic theories of world trade from comparative advantage to more modern theories.
3) It discusses the relevance of trade theories and barriers/regulations for multinational enterprises and companies seeking to engage in international trade.
The document discusses how trade policies have impacted health and development. It makes three key points:
1. Global trade rules established by the WTO and trade agreements have prioritized commercial interests over public health by requiring intellectual property protections that increase drug costs and limiting the policy tools available to governments.
2. Agriculture agreements have undermined food security in developing countries by flooding their markets with subsidized imports while exports face barriers, lowering prices.
3. Health services are increasingly viewed as profitable sectors by private companies in developed countries seeking new markets through agreements like GATS, but this risks privatizing healthcare and draining health workers from poor countries.
The document discusses several theories for why trade increases with GNP and the circumstances under which this relationship could break down. It summarizes theories of absolute advantage put forth by Adam Smith, comparative advantage by David Ricardo, and the Heckscher-Ohlin theory that differences in countries' endowments of factors of production like resources can lead to gains from trade. It also notes that technical innovation and differences in consumer tastes across countries can be important drivers of certain types of trade.
This document summarizes the history of trade policies used by developed countries during their early stages of development. It argues that contrary to popular belief, virtually no developed countries practiced free trade when they were developing. Instead, they actively promoted their industries through measures like tariffs, subsidies, and import restrictions. Specifically, it discusses how Britain promoted the wool industry in the 15th century and implemented policies like import tariffs and export subsidies in the 18th century to develop manufacturing. The document aims to debunk the myth that free trade led to development and argues historical evidence shows interventionist policies were more common.
This document provides an overview of international trade between India and the United States. It includes 11 chapters that discuss topics like the need for international trade, India's trade environment and demographics, its major trading partners and exports/imports. Tables and figures present data on the top countries India trades with and its key exports and imports. The document also examines India's trade relationship with the US, including imports and exports between the two countries and trade barriers faced by India.
This document contains Wasim Sajjad's presentation on the history of international trade policy for his 6th semester BS in Economics. It discusses several major ideas and periods in trade policy history, including tariffs for revenue, mercantilism, comparative advantage, free trade in Britain and the US, the GATT, Washington Consensus, and strategic trade policy. It provides examples and context for each major concept or period discussed.
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was a multilateral agreement regulating international trade signed in 1947. It aimed to reduce trade barriers through a series of rounds of negotiations. There were 9 rounds, the last being the Uruguay Round from 1986-1994 which established the World Trade Organization in 1995 to replace GATT. The rounds achieved major reductions in tariffs and other trade barriers.
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was formed in 1947 as a temporary treaty between 23 countries to reduce trade barriers and negotiate tariff reductions. It was designed as a provisional substitute for the proposed International Trade Organization (ITO) that failed to materialize. Over successive rounds of negotiations, GATT helped reduce global tariffs and expand international trade. In 1995, GATT was subsumed into the World Trade Organization (WTO) which further strengthened and expanded the global trading system.
This document discusses the history of globalization in three waves from 1860 to the present. It outlines key drivers and developments in each wave such as advances in transportation and technology, as well as political and economic changes. The first wave from 1860-1914 saw increased global trade and movement of people and capital due to new steam technologies. The second wave from 1944-1971 established international organizations like the IMF and GATT to support economic integration after World War 2. The third wave from 1989 onwards has been driven most significantly by advances in internet and telecommunications, allowing large-scale global commerce and foreign investment. The document also examines why businesses expand globally to access new markets, cut costs, and spread risk. International advertising agencies have played a complementary
There are three principal differences between how economists and noneconomists view international trade: 1) Economists see all forms of trade as equally advantageous, while noneconomists favor trading within one's own group. 2) Economists believe imports and exports are both good for the economy, while noneconomists favor exports. 3) Economists believe a country's trade balance depends on many factors like savings and investment, while noneconomists focus on competitiveness. Economists view trade as increasing efficiency through specialization and comparative advantage, while noneconomists emphasize tribal rivalries.
The document discusses theories of international trade and banking practices. It covers the historical development of international trade theories including mercantilism and classical theories. Modern theories like the Heckscher-Ohlin model and factor price equalization are also discussed. The document also examines trade agreements, payment methods, and trade finance methods to support international trade. Key learning objectives include understanding theoretical foundations of trade and relationships between trade and development.
This document summarizes the history of international trade theory and policy. It discusses the early trade theorists Adam Smith and David Ricardo, and introduces Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage. It then outlines major trade agreements and negotiations including the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, GATT, Tokyo Round, Uruguay Round, and Doha Round. Key issues addressed in negotiations have included tariffs, non-tariff barriers, subsidies, agriculture, services, intellectual property, and developing country concerns.

This document discusses the history of globalization in three waves from 1860 to the present. It outlines key drivers and developments in each wave such as advances in transportation and technology, as well as political and economic changes. The first wave from 1860-1914 saw increased global trade and movement of people and capital due to new steam technologies. The second wave from 1944-1971 established international organizations like the IMF and GATT to support economic integration after World War 2. The third wave from 1989 onwards has been driven most significantly by advances in internet and telecommunications, allowing large-scale global commerce and foreign investment. The document also examines why businesses expand globally to access new markets, cut costs, and spread risk. International advertising agencies have played a complementary
There are three principal differences between how economists and noneconomists view international trade: 1) Economists see all forms of trade as equally advantageous, while noneconomists favor trading within one's own group. 2) Economists believe imports and exports are both good for the economy, while noneconomists favor exports. 3) Economists believe a country's trade balance depends on many factors like savings and investment, while noneconomists focus on competitiveness. Economists view trade as increasing efficiency through specialization and comparative advantage, while noneconomists emphasize tribal rivalries.
The document discusses theories of international trade and banking practices. It covers the historical development of international trade theories including mercantilism and classical theories. Modern theories like the Heckscher-Ohlin model and factor price equalization are also discussed. The document also examines trade agreements, payment methods, and trade finance methods to support international trade. Key learning objectives include understanding theoretical foundations of trade and relationships between trade and development.
This document summarizes the history of international trade theory and policy. It discusses the early trade theorists Adam Smith and David Ricardo, and introduces Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage. It then outlines major trade agreements and negotiations including the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, GATT, Tokyo Round, Uruguay Round, and Doha Round. Key issues addressed in negotiations have included tariffs, non-tariff barriers, subsidies, agriculture, services, intellectual property, and developing country concerns.

Subaru's Sales Boom Thanks to the Weaker Yen For the Japanese carmaker Subaru, a sharp fall in the value of yen against the U.S. dollar has turned a problem—the lack of U.S. production—into an unexpected sales boom. Subaru, which is a niche player in the global auto industry, has long bucked the trend among its Japanese rivals of establishing significant manufacturing facilities in the North American market. Instead, the company has chosen to concentrate most of its manufacturing in Japan in order to achieve economies of scale at its home plants, exporting its production to the United States. Subaru still makes 80 percent of its vehicles at home, compared with 21 percent for Honda. Back in 2012, this strategy was viewed as something of a liability. In those days, one U.S. dollar bought only 80 Japanese yen. The strong yen meant that Subaru cars were being priced out of the U.S. market. Japanese companies like Honda and Toyota, which had substantial production in the United States, gained business at Subaru's expense. But from 2012 onward, with Japan mired in recession and consumer prices falling, the country's central bank repeatedly cut interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy. As interest rates fell in Japan, investors moved money out of the country, selling yen and buying the U.S. dollar. They used those dollars to invest in U.S. stocks and bonds where they anticipated a greater return. As a consequence, the price of yen in terms of dollars fell. By December 2015, one dollar bought 120 yen, representing a 50 percent fall in the value of the yen against the U.S. dollar since 2012. For Subaru, the depreciation in the value of the yen has given it a pricing advantage and driven a sales boom. Demand for Subaru cars in the United States has been so strong that the automaker has been struggling to keep up. The profits of Subaru's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, have surged. In February 2015, Fuji announced that it would earn record operating profits of around ¥410 billion ($3.5 billion) for the financial year ending March 2015. Subaru's profit margin has increased to 14.4 percent, compared with 5.6 percent for Honda, a company that is heavily dependent on U.S. production. The good times continued in 2015, with Subaru posting record profits in the quarter ending December 31, 2015. Despite its current pricing advantage, Subaru is moving to increase its U.S. production. It plans to expand its sole plant in the United States, in Indiana, by March 2017, with a goal of making 310,000 a year, up from 200,000 currently. When asked why it is doing this, Subaru's management notes that the yen will not stay weak against the dollar forever, and it is wise to expand local production as a hedge against future increases in the value of the yen. Indeed, when the Bank of Japan decided to set a key interest rate below zero in early February 2016, the yen .

**ANSWER THE DISCUSSION QUESTION 250 WORDS MIN**
Discussion Questions:
How should the United States government deal with the heightened concern about homegrown violent extremism and the growing concern for the preservation of civil liberties? What are the political and constitutional consequences of counter-terrorism? Lastly, how do we assess the tradeoffs between freedom and security?
***REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN EACH***
1. The United States government will always have to face the homegrown violent extremist because with the internet alone people are able to research just about anything and find their answers. The civil liberties are being violated because you have FBI and CIA looking into what people on doing on the webs. I personally believe that you gave up the right when you decided to goggle whatever it is you’re looking up. It’s also like social media site take Facebook for example people are willing to give up their rights so they can be on Facebook and be able to look or post whatever they want. But just like ever website the owner of that site has a right to delete what they don’t want on it as well. So why can’t the FBI/CIA look into and potentially stop a homegrown extremist from attacking the nation or even just attacking schools, churches, and retail stores like the mall or Wal-Mart. All these locations have had attacks from violent extremist when if they were being watched or monitored those attacks could have been stopped or at least less death could have occurred. From a political and constitutional stand point, consequences of counter-terrorism can vary. I political stand is to protect and preserve the freedom for the people. Protecting one’s Constitutional rights depends on what the politician’s plans on policies and procedures that could begin to take away those civil rights that were granted and give people the sense of freedom that the nation is built on. Policies and procedures can change everything take the mask wearing and social distancing for Covid-19, you have the people that are okay with it all and are following the rules but then you have the ones that have been protesting or fighting people over the fact that they don’t want to wear a mask. To me personally it’s simple to wear a mask but to others it’s a reason of rights being taken away by mandating it. Working for the military and DHS I personally don’t see freedom and security as a tradeoff. If agencies do their jobs correctly and protect the United States and National Security then freedom wouldn’t be at stake. I believe in freedom but the security measures in place are to help protect that freedom, without the security measures the nation would be under attack like 9/11 or worse.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Lnrhile the indusrrialized couniries have negoti-
ated tariff reductions, what has been ihe role of
develcping tountries? O{ tne 23 founding mem-
bers of GAil, 13 were developing countries, and
riovv trlost wTo members ar€ developing ccun-
tries. Hovve'rer, until recentiy, develaping coun-
tries piayeci little role in the nrultilateral tracle

tries) ccmmits to eiiminate tariffs on impcrts
of infcrrnation technoiogy goods {computers,

related iilstrumenis and parts) and software. By
2011, 73 countries had adopted ihe agreement,
so thai 97 percent cf glotlai irarje in these infor-
rnation technology products is {or soorr wilt be)
tariff-free.
SeconC, the derveloping counffles that i"lave
jcined ihe WTO since 1995 have g*oneraily lttw-
ered their actual tariff rates as a conditicn for
joining and accepted bound rates equal to or
very close to their actual rates. For instance,
the average tariff raie *f China, which ioined
the WTO in 2001, fell from 17 percelit in 20{j0

some consuner is,wiiling to pay $540 forthe first6ike (atpolntF),
This consuner
can buy the bike at the irarkeiprice of $300, so the consumer

(consumer surplus)of $240 on tl'lat first unit. As we go down
the demand curve frortl
point F to point E, we find that the vertical distances befween
the demand curve and
the world price of $300 show us the bargains that these
consumers are getting. These
consumers pay less for bikes than the maximum amount they
would have been rvilling
to pay. By summing the net gain on each unit purchased we sec
that the entire area
(FEC) between the dernancl curve and the S300 pnce line tells
us the total anrourtt of
collsumer surplus.
Now the govemmenl imposes a tariff of 10 percent on imported
bikes. Figure 8.3

The tariffraises the price
that consunrers must pay for bikes (both imported and
domestically produced) to $330.
By raising the price to $330, the tanff forces consumers who
were buying the I.6
million bikes to make a decision;
' Some will continue to buy bikes, paying $30 more per bike.
" Sorne will decide that a bike ls not worth $330 to thenr, so
they will not buy at the

which the WTO tries to ga beyond tariffs on non-

. As tariffs have cleclined, the use oi nontari{f
import i:arriers has increased. How have the
vvrc and th€ GATT tried to limit ;nd reduce
nonlariff h,arriers?

Doha Round, is ;n ambitious effort to push
further. but as of eariy 201 1 there was iittle
progress. What are the key objectives of the
Doha Rounel. and why the laek of progress?
NOf{TARIFF BARRIERS
The criginal GATT of 1947 included provisions
that limited countries' use of some barriers to
imports other than tariffs. Most Irrportant was
a prr;hibition on th€ use of import quotas on
nonagricultural goocls. Countries cornplied by
renrr:ving such quotas-*ancther major suc{ess
for the €ATT" The agreement also stated that any
governmental rules and regulations should not
cliscriminate against imports; imports and domes-
tic proclucts should be treated equrally, often
callerj "national treatnent'" ln additicn, the
agreement included prcvisions for national gov-
ernnrent to take actions against foreign dr-rmpinq
using anticiumping measure: and against export
33. subsicJies using count*rvailing measures. topics
thai '"ve wili take up in Chapter 11.
As tariffs declined and NTSs rose in impor-
tence, the CATT rnembers began to discuss NTBs
more seriously. Yet, negotiations have had less
su{cess in reducing t'lTBs. The protective ef{ects
of NTBs are harder to measure. so it is harder tc

The Kennedy Round {1963*1967) inciuded
scme NTB neqotiations but the results were
slirn-one r/oiuntary code on dumping and anti-
dumping proceclures. The Tokyc Round {1973-
1979) maCe sorne progress and resuited in six
vcluntary cccjes on NTBs, cr:vering custorns valu-'
ation, impoit licensing prccedures, government
procurement, product standards and similar tech-
nical barrier:, subsidies a*d countervailing mea-
sures, and dumping and antidumping measures'
Hcwever, the codes had oniy mcdest ef{ects in
lilniting or reducing NTBs.
The Uruguay Round (1986- 1994) was more
ambitious. The aqreements fronr this raund cre-
ated the WTo, addressed a :rumber of NTBs.

WTO accept nearly ali the NTB agreeilenls' The

Wl O a ,nuch stronger process for resolving dis-
putes between aouniries abcut NTB and otirer
34. trarje issues. (Dispute setttement iruiil be discussed
in ihe final section of this chapter.)
The UruEuay Round agreements on NTSs are
far-ranging and include nevv or revised codes

proccdures, lafeguards iterupcrary increased

lished lwo rules to reduce the use of standards

nct restrict imports morg than the rninirnum
necessary to achieve their legitimate objectives,
and standards about food safety should be based

A{ter much wrangling at the 2001 meet-
ing, the ministers agreed on the agenda and
iaunched the Doha Round of trade negotiations.
Each of the r*ajor players (the United States, the
European Union, and the developing countries)
campromised to reach the consensus. Key eie-
ments of the ambitious agenda include substan-
tia I liberal ization of agricultural trade, reductions
af tariffs on nonagricultural goods, liberalization
of trade in services, provision of assured acc€ss
by developing countrles to low-cost medicines
to protect public health, and refinement cf rules

Doha Round negotiationt have been
iniermittent and unproductive for more than a
decade. A meeting in ,ir-ily 2008 seemed to make
progress brut collapsed when some developing
countries, led by lndia and China, demanded a
"safeguard" process that v/ou;d allcw them to
easily increase tariffs on imBotts af agricultural
products if and when such inports increased'
It seems unlikely that an agreement would be
stymied by such a small issue if progress r'vith the
rest of the agreement had been strcng. lt ha: not.
