• Bilaterale Freihandelsabkommen Im Asiatisch-Pazifischen Raum: Konzeptionelle Schwächen Und Folgen Für Regionale Produktionsnetzwerke

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...

• The Future of the Wto - Addressing Institutional Challenges in the New Millennium

At the time when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) went through a difficult phase in the first half of the 1980s, the then secretary-General Arthur Dunkel asked a group of seven non-governmental experts "to identify the fundamental causes of the problems afflicting the international trading system and to consider how these may be overcome during the remainder of the 1980s". This so-called LEUTWILER Group, named after its chairman, came up with an unanimous 50 page report in early 1985 that included both a diagnosis of the current situation and fifteen recommendations for specific, immediate action to meet the crisis present in the trading system. Today, the Group's proposals are regarded as a major input to the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (1986-1994)...

• Präferenzielle Ursprungsregeln in Freihandelszonen: Hemmnisse Für Den Internationalen Handel?

The growing number of free trade areas has resulted in an increasing importance of preferential rules of origin. Regularly, these instruments are used as protectionist devices. Rules of origin are becoming obstacles for international trade. In this paper, firstly the various types of rules of origin and their administration will be explained. The analysis of the consequences for international trade shows that rules of origin can produce trade diversion. The attempts of the European Union to reduce the welfare-reducing effects of free trade areas by creating pan-European rules of origin have been only partly successful. The rules of origin in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) show a clear protectionist bias in some product groups.
