Trade and Globalization An Introduction to Regional Trade Agreements

Аннотация

The explosion of regional trade agreements (RTAs) has led to a similar explosion of literature on the subject. This book is not an overview of that scholarship; rather the book draws upon the literature and fulfills a number of gaps in the literature regarding scope and focus, technical language usage, and, to a lesser extent, ideological perspective. RTA studies’ scope and focus are the primary gaps in the literature: scholars tend to use either microscopes or binoculars as they examine RTAs.
