Book Description
This report is a qualitative analysis of several specific elements that influence the emerging trade policy environment, based on the experiences of past negotiations, recent developments, published papers, public commentary, and discussions with policy analysts. It focuses on state trading, and begins with a brief history of state trading and international trade negotiations. Section 3 reviews definitions and rules related to state trading. This is followed by discussion of the approaches used for analysis of state trading enterprises, concerns over state trading (subsidization, transparency, immunity from certain risks, price discrimination), and future directions for negotiations and for economic analysis.
