Abstract

The report provides a background and overview of the project, with research findings and outcomes, outlining project management, activities, outputs and outcomes. Analysis of the two countries shows similarities in the growing influence of the private sector over trade policy, and in particular the blurring of boundaries between private and public interest, creating questions about conflicts of interest in both countries.
