While integration in the modern world economy is quite different to its counterpart in the last century, national borders are still extremely significant as trade barriers, and the international discussion of globalisation is paramount. This volume centres on two broad themes: the desirability, or otherwise, of globalisation and the practical mechanics of, and prospects for, increased multinational international trade liberalisation.Progress on competition policy issues are discussed along with the future of financial institutions, national policies, the scope of possible future expansion of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), and its dispute-settlement mechanism in light of recent trans-Atlantic disputes.

With a diversity of opinions from contributors prominent in fields ranging from business and academia through to Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) such as the WTO and the British Commonwealth, this is a fascinating look at globalisation and trade. Both foreign policy and economics academics will find this book invaluable, along with policymakers and NGOs.
