Globalization, Trade, and Economic Development: The Cariforum-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789766408633)

Globalization,
Trade, and Economic Development: The CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership
Agreement is the most in-depth study of the
economic partnership between the European Union and the fifteen Caribbean
developing countries that make up CARIFORUM. The CARIFORUM-EU Economic
Partnership Agreement (EPA) is the first trade agreement of its kind, as it is
a new type of WTO-compatible trade agreement between a group of developed
countries and a group of developing countries. As a principal negotiator for
CARIFORUM, Richard L. Bernal is uniquely qualified to provide a unique
perspective on trade and economic development in the midst of globalization. In
this book, he comprehensively explores the components of the EPA from all
angles, explains how the agreement provides opportunities to strengthen and
accelerate economic development, and outlines the policies which can allow the
CARIFORUM countries to seize these opportunities. Bernal's explanation of the
institutional arrangements for the conduct of the negotiations by CARIFORUM is
invaluable to governments and regional organizations in developing countries for
coordinating groups to advance common and joint positions in international
negotiations.
