This paper (2007) undertakes an assessment of the impact of reforms, degree of implementation, flanking measures taken by the government, and the compliance of different regional trade agreements (RTAs) signed by Tunisia with World Trade Organization (WTO). Discriminatory treatment between off-shore and on-shore enterprises as well as protection of the local market has resulted in development of an off-shore sector supplied with imported intermediary products, scarcely integrated in the Tunisian economy, and an inefficient export sector, too weak to resist foreign competition.Text58 p. : ill.enTRADE STRUCTUREREGIONAL TRADE AGREEMENTSTRADE POLICYTRADE BARRIERSINTRAREGIONAL TRADEPOLICY MAKINGTUNISIAWTOSTATISTICAL ANALYSISTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTURKEYARAB COUNTRIESMACROECONOMICSTEXTILE INDUSTRYNORTH OF SAHARAConference Paper
