Description: The proliferation of regional trade agreements (RT As) over the past two decades has highlighted the need to look closely at the potential conflicts between regional and WTO rules or disciplines. A major obstacle to advancing understanding of RT As is the absence of detailed information about their contents. This has limited the debate between those who view RT As as discriminatory instruments hostage to protectionist interests and those who see them as conducive to multilateral trade opening. This book provides detailed analysis of RT a rules in six key areas - market access technical barriers to trade contingent protection investment services and competition policy - across dozens of the main RT As in the world. The analysis helps to provide new insights into the interplay between regional and multilateral trade rules advances understanding of the economic effects of RT As and contributes to the discussion on how to deal with the burgeoning number of RT As.
