Evenett, Simon J.2011-08-102011-08-102009http://hdl.handle.net/10625/46805Global Trade Alert (GTA) provides information on state interventions during the global downturn (2008) that affect foreign commerce. It identifies the trading partners likely to be harmed by these measures. GTA has investigated 425 state initiatives by an independent team of trade policy analysts. The overwhelming picture is one of planned and implemented initiatives that reduce foreign commercial opportunities and reverse the 25-year trend towards open borders. The GTA team estimates that worldwide the number of discriminatory measures being implemented outnumbers the liberalizing measures by five to one. The book details these findings relative to G20 members' pledge to eschew protectionism.Text1 digital file (195 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenGLOBAL TRADING SYSTEMFOREIGN TRADE POLICYGLOBALIZATIONINTERNATIONAL ECONOMYPROTECTIONISMG20FINANCIAL MARKETECONOMIC CRISISCOMPETITIVENESSECONOMIC REFORMGLOBALBook
