Trade facilitation has the potential to bring considerable economic gains to developing and least developed countries through improving their trade competitiveness and diversifying their export bases. The benefits of removing impediments to trade are substantial, with evidence suggesting that the gains from these reforms can be higher than reducing tariffs. WorldBank and UNESCAP data demonstrate that the Asia-Pacific region has made tremendous progress in reducing at- and behind-the-border time and costs, but the performance varies significantly across countries and subregions. UNESCAP recommends an integrated approach to trade facilitation which not only looks at border issues but also addresses domestic regulations and behind-the-border challenges. These issues include trade procedure...

This paper traces the linking of trade and security, a characteristic of US foreign economic policy since 2001. It does so with reference to US economic policy in East Asia. We argue that the US has been unable to resist the temptation to link foreign economic and security policy. While there was evidence of the securitisation of economic globalisation in US policy from day one of the BUSH Administration, it was September 11 that firmed up this trend. Ever since, the BUSH government has been seeing globalisation not simply in neoliberal economic terms, but also through the lenses of the national security agenda of the United States. Economic globalisation has been linked to security policy. This trend is evident in East Asia, where the United States has put an emphasis on Free Trade Agr...

Located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Veritas is an award-winning design firm backed by a team that includes more than 40 qualified professionals and over 60 support staff. Although it began as an architectural practice, Veritas now offers a full range of design services. The firm opened its first overseas representative office in Dubai in September 2005. Meanwhile, macroeconomic factors were at work. The booming South-east Asian economy made Malaysian businesses feel invincible on the global stage and they started exploring international markets. In 2004, Veritas was appointed as architects for major developments in Iran and Pakistan, and they have recently been invited for projects in India and Indonesia. There is also a proposal to policy-makers: please respect the creative output of yo...

When the General Tariff and Trade Agreement was initiated in 1947, the goal of this system was the mutual opening of national markets. In the meantime, the created world trading order is in danger to split apart into regional markets. The World Trade Organization (WTO) currently counts 200 trade unions, free trade areas, preferential agreements and economic partnerships that went back to introducing their own tariffs, distanced themselves from the most favoured nation and national treatment clauses and created additional trade barriers such as certificates of origin. The first part of the paper contains a conceptional differentiation of regional free trade areas; the second part discusses the proliferation of regional agreements despite GATT and WTO. The necessary corrections are debate...

The admittance of amicus curiae briefs in the US-Shrimp/Turtle dispute in 1998 stirred a debate among WTO Member States whether the dispute settlement procedure should be accessible for private individuals and entities. Developing countries firmly opposed the inclusion of amid curiae into the Disupute Settlement Understanding (DSU) and repeated their arguments frequently in cases leading to amicus submissions, fearing a further shift of power in favour of developed countries and changes in the nature of the dispute settlement system. The present article examines these concerns in light of the experience made with amicus submissions in 21 disputes. It will be argued that most of the fears expressed by developing countries are ungrounded and often base on wrong assumptions.
