Summary
"Regional trade agreements are playing a greater role in shaping trade and investment rules around the world. To date the study of preferential agreements has focused on their impact on tariff preferences, but as tariffs are reduced rule-making becomes more important in trade and investment. This book addresses the role of regional and bilateral agreements in rule-making; provides an analytical framework for assessing the impact of regional and other preferential agreements on rule-making; and illustrates the role of regional agreements in a multi-level process of rule-making.--Publisher's description."--Source other than the Library of Congress.

Summary
Have regional trade agreements led to a new form of economic cooperation by promoting deeper integration in the regulatory structures of participating countries? The answer has profound i m p l ications for the future of multilateral cooperation and international economic relations. Regional trade agreements have led to deeper integration in a number of fields, and recent agreements are generally more effective than the more remote WTO procedures in facilitating t rade and improving transparency. There is no single model for deeper i n t e g ration and each t rade agreement is the result of attempts to achieve very different policy objectives. But Regionalism, Multilateralism, and Economic Integration finds that regional processes and rules have been consistent with the multilateral obligations of each party. WTO rules therefore constitute a floor that underpins additional commitments in the regional agreements.

Summary
The New Economic Diplomacy explains how states conduct their external economic relations in the 21st century: how they make decisions domestically; how they negotiate internationally; and how these processes interact. It documents the transformation of economic diplomacy in the 1990s and 2000s in response to the end of the Cold War, the advance of globalization and the growing influence of non-state actors such as private business and civil society. Fully revised, this third edition brings economic diplomacy up to date to reflect the rise of the emerging powers and the impact of the recent financial and economic crises. Based on the authors' work in the field of international political economy, it is suitable for students interested in the decision making processes in foreign economic policy including those studying international relations, government, politics and economics but will also appeal to politicians, bureaucrats, business people, NGO activists, journalists and the informed public.

Summary
As multilateral negotiations become increasingly complex and protracted, preferential trade agreements have become the center of trade diplomacy, pushing beyond tariffs into deep integration and beyond regionalism into a web of bilateral deals, raising concerns about coercion by bigger players. This study examines American, European and Asian approaches to preferential trade agreements and their effects on trade, investment and economic welfare. It draws on theoretical works, but also examines the actual substance of agreements negotiated and envisaged.--Publisher's description.
