The "new generation of Free Trade Agreements" announced by the Commission of the European Community signals an intention to substantially extend the geographic coverage of its reciprocal, preferential trade agreements. We review the development of regionalism in East Asia by listing the existing bilaterals and those under negotiation and conclude that the EC's initiative will have minimal effect in this region. However, globally, there are two super-hubs, namely the EC and the US, each with its network of spokes and associated rules. They are likely to compete to design any new multilateral rules which are WTO-plus.

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.

This article looks at the structural reasons behind the altogether unsatisfactory results of the World Trade Organization conferences of ministers since the Uruguay round and the present problems with a new world trade round. World Trade Organization agreements are more strongly affected by topic-spreading interdependences, which bring in increasingly heterogeneous conceptions over worthwhile goals and suitable ways for the World Trade Organization.

In recent policy debates in Europe, the question 'what has competition done for Europe?' has been posed at the highest levels. This question merits careful reflection. Competition as it is understood by mainstream economic and legal scholars refers not to an ideology but to inter-firm rivalry in markets. Such rivalry ensures that consumers enjoy choice, low prices, and good value for money. The authors consider the historical origins and development as well as the current role and effects of competition policy in Europe. The latter includes legal provisions that address anti-competitive practices by firms and activities aimed at promoting competition in respect of potentially anti-competitive government measures. They conclude that such policy has made essential contributions to the hig...

This essay will present the views of a US observer on the politics and substance of the European Commission's proposed new policies toward bilateral and regional trade agreements. It will contrast both the rationale advanced by the Commission and the underlying politics surrounding FTAs with the situations in the United States, particularly the record of the Bush administration "Competitive Liberalisation" policy. It will also describe additional political and security considerations that form the basis for US regional trade policy. Finally, it will advance tentative predictions for the FTA policy in the future.
