Analytical and Negotiating Issues in the Global Trading System
Addresses the main issues and problems of the global trading system
Description
This title was formally part of the Studies in International Trade Policy Series, now called Studies in International Economics.
In this volume a group of distinguished international trade economists address the principal issues in the global trading system in an explicitly analytical manner.
The issues covered include: multilateral trade negotiations and preferential arrangements (Alan V. Deardorff and Robert M. Stern); rent sharing in the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (Kala Krishna and Ling Hui Tan); reforming the European Community's Common Agricultural Policy (Thomas W. Hertel, Mark Gehlhar, and Robert A. McDougall); GATT articles and arrangements (J. Michael Finger and Sumana Dhar); trade and related effects of anti-dumping investigations (Robert W. Staiger and Frank A. Wolak) and subsidies and countervailing duties (Michael P. Leidy); safeguard actions (Wolfgang Mayer); GATT dispute settlement and cooperation (Marie Thursby and Dan Kovenock); trade-related intellectual property rights (Keith E. Maskus and Denise Eby Konan); investment measures (John Mutti) and services (Bernard M. Hoekman); and the challenges to the GATT system posed by policies designed to promote fair trade, reciprocity, and harmonization (Jagdish Bhagwati).
This book contains the commissioned papers and comments for a conference held at the University of Michigan in late October 1991. It can be looked upon as a sequel to the volume, The Mulilateral Trading System: Analysis and Options for Change, which was edited by Robert M. Stern and published in 1993 by the University of Michigan Press.
