India, Brazil and South Africa belong to the most intractable blocking actors in the Doha Round. In order to explain this posture, reference is frequently made to the lack of willingness to compromise on the part of the other central actors EU and USA. In addition, the three countries' interests in the construction of an alliance of the South are cited as motivation for blocking the negotiations. This paper, however, accepts that trade policy is a two-level game and shows that the configurations of national decision processes in India, Brazil and South Africa and the resulting influence of specific interest groups significantly contribute to consolidating the blockade position. Against this backdrop, the authors are sceptical about the prospects of a compromise solution to the Doha Round.

The current account deficit of the United States, which about 6 1/2% of GDP, is generally regarded as unsustainable. Many observers hold the view that a sharp correction of this imbalance is imminent; this could lead to massive problems in the world economy because they believe that a drastic fall in the value of the US dollar and, consequently, a sharp appreciation of European currencies is inevitable. However, various economic adjustments in terms of global savings and investment suggest that the deficit will decrease to a sustainable level, even though this process may take several years. According to our simulations with a macroeconometric model for the world economy, the adjustment may indeed be fairly smooth. Accordingly, the adverse effects on the German economy and on the Euro A...

Bilateral free trade agreements are mushrooming all over the world. The current standstill in multilateral trade negotiations will contribute further to this trend. Since dialogue in the Doha-Round came to a halt in July 2006, bilateral agreements have received additional support. In this paper, the author will analyse the utility of bilateral trade agreements and the systemic disadvantages they have for weaker players. Dispute settlement is a major issue. The question here is whether bilateral dispute settlement is inferior to the multilateral regime. Subsequently he will consider the evidence provided by Australia's Free Trade agreement with the United States as well as the bilateral agreements of Singapore and Thailand. It will be demonstrated that the current wave of bilateral agree...
