Abstract
This paper presents and discusses the arguments for and against the World Trade Organization (WTO) and global trade. It argues that a synthesis approach represents the most realistic and accurate assessment of these issues. The paper suggests that while the operations of the WTO and global trade clearly serve the interests of powerful transnationals in the global marketplace, they also clearly create prosperity and opportunity for millions in less developed countries.
From the Paper
"In this analysis, the evidence is undeniable that international trade and globalization contribute to shared prosperity in many cases; the existence of the Asian "Tigers" is clear proof of this. The case of environmental protection is mixed in this regard, as there does not seem to be any clear correlation between closed and open economies and environmental damage; there are cases of great damage in both examples. However, it is also clear that the WTO does not seem to be supporting the interests of global economic equality in promoting freer trade. Instead, as we have seen, there is compelling evidence that it is, in fact, supporting the interests of powerful corporations even against the expressed interests of western nation-states. Thus, the most accurate conclusion would be that while the WTO and global trade have created shared prosperity for many, they have also reinforced a structural system of global inequality supporting dominance by transnational corporations."

Abstract
This paper reviews Michael Hart's book, "A Trading Nation: Canadian Trade Policy from Colonialism to Globalization" in order to argue the case that Canadian trade policy is often created around subjective and biased economic information that create Canada's trade policy. The paper further analyzes how Hart uses both trade policy and empirical economic data in his research, rather than using market fluctuations and government interaction, to define how Canada's trade economy will function for the best interest of the nation.
From the Paper
"Finally, Hart uses trade policy to define how Canada will co-exist with America as a major trade partner in multilateral trade policy. Although the 1995 AFTA agreement helped to open the borders with American trade, the actually trade policy issues within the agreement were often not in the best interest of Canada. Often the issue of privatization in the American economy helped to defy the "openness" of the agreement, which helps to solidify Hart's thesis of data that stays close with policy initiatives. In many ways, the data revolving around Canada's markets and the way that politics plays into the mix, does not reflect the serious issues that limit the true autonomy of Canada's part in the NAFTA."

Abstract
The paper examines Michael Hart's thesis that Canadian trade policy has too often been shaped by political considerations rather than economic ones and this trend has led to economic dislocation that could have been avoided. The writer agrees with Hart in general, noting his lucid arguments in favor of free trade and his especially cogent argument in favor of NAFTA. The writer concludes that Michael Hart has made a valuable contribution to existing literature.
From the Paper
"Hart's defense of his thesis really begins early on in his work. For one thing, Hart notes that Canada has actually been strengthened in some respects by a heavily-regulated international trade situation insofar as such an arrangement actually makes it less vulnerable to unilateral and arbitrary decisions in Washington or elsewhere (8). Simply on its surface, this assertion makes a great deal of sense: Canada is a nation of just over 30 million souls; the United States has about ten times that number and possibly a 100 times the economic clout world-wide. Furthermore, other nations like Russia, China, India and even "western European" nations like France, Germany and Great Britain all have considerably greater human and capital resources than does Canada."

Abstract
The following paper discusses the case of Morocco, a strategically-situated moderate Arab country that can leverage the current geo-political situation to achieve economic gains in trade and development during a time when the U.S. is looking for all the friends in the Arab world it can get.
From the Paper
"The United States? trade policy has developed in a schizophrenic manner over the last fifty years; for much of the 20th century, Americans generally supported a U.S. trade policy of removing barriers to international commerce and encouraging a freer flow of trade and investment among nations; at this time, support for free trade extended from union leaders to the major business organizations and to consumer groups such as the League of Women Voters. However, by the end of that decade, the broad pro-trade consensus was wavering. Domestic industries, notably steel and automobiles, began to suffer from rising foreign competition, unemployment became an enduring experience for many factory workers and the membership of the major industrial unions declined substantially."

Abstract
This work makes a thorough review of the available literature relating to U.S. trade relations and policy with China, as well as the impact that free trade has had upon human civil rights and democracy in the country of China. The paper states that one of the important outcomes of free trade in the country of China has been the reduction of poverty. This in turn, according to the paper, has lead to growing power vested in citizens of the country and less power vested in the ruling party. Furthermore, it asserts that the rapid change in China has been termed to be a 'transformation' in many primary aspects of living demonstrated in the improved economic and financial aspects in China, as well as serving to impact political aspects in the country as well. The paper concludes that the government in China does not appear to be ready to shun the economic benefits of trade liberalization even if that means making room for the effects of democratization that goes along with economic benefits.
Outline:
Introduction
Idealism versus Realism
Free Trade: U.S.and China Trade Relations
Trade Liberalization and Democratization
Creeping Democratization (Minxin, 1995)
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The work of Ying Ma relates that in spite of what the United States or even the citizens of China may desire, 'the Chinese Government has so far quashed and neutralized pressure for fundamental political change. Beijing controls and stunts precisely those instruments that contribute to the success of broad-cased domestic opposition: It cracks down on political opponents, co-opts potential ones, and indoctrinates the masses. It is eagerly attempting to maximize economic modernization while minimizing its liberalizing effects.' (Ma, 2007) Ying Ma states that there are several 'concrete steps' that might assist promotion of democracy in China. The first of these steps is that 'the United States should not wade into the quandary of slowing Chinese economic growth and cannot stop the Chinese government from institutionalization itself or co-opting its rival political groups,...' however it is possible that the U.S. can do more toward combating 'other sources of authoritarian resilience by strengthening China's political opposition and countering the regime's restriction of coordination goods that range from press freedom to the ability to organize.'"

From the Paper
"American policy in the Arab-Israeli conflict has been neither restrained nor balanced. Rather American policy toward the conflict has provided for an intensive American involvement with a solid preference for Israel. In the early days, Israel was a small struggling country. Survival was an issue and American foreign policy in the Middle East was to achieve peace in order to assure that survival. Contemporary Israel, however has one of the most powerful military forces in the world, together with ... "

»

Abstract
The paper relates that farm aid has effectively wiped out local farmers in developing countries that have opened their borders to imports. The paper then looks at how outsourcing jobs to poor countries harms these countries' economies. The paper examines the arguments in favor of these policies but supports the assertion that such policies are not a solution to global poverty.
Outline:
Introduction
Farm Bill Policies
Pros/Cons of the Farm Bill Policies
How the U.S. Farm Aid Policies Affect other Countries
Outsourcing and Foreign Relations
Pros/Cons of Outsourcing as Foreign Aid
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the past few years, foreign relations and related debates involving the application of foreign policies have emerged as a growing concern among federal agencies, foreign governments, and the common taxpayer alike. Out of these debates, foreign aid policy and the affects on world poverty have received the most scrutiny as this issue has several pros and cons on each side. The Farm Bill of 2001 and its upcoming amendments have had a significant affect on the manner in which poorer countries receive aid from richer countries. Although intended to aid poorer countries, the farm bill policies have been detrimental to the real interests of poorer nations, and have contributed to the problem of global poverty."

Abstract
This paper studies foreign trade policy during the Clinton administration. The paper analyzes decisions and actions in two of Clinton's top priority areas: (1) the trade imbalance between the U.S. and Japan and (2) the trade status of China. The paper begins by discussing U.S.-Japanese relations, including their impact on financial instability in Asia. The paper attempts to understand how increased stability would behoove the U.S. and how attempting to affect that change would impact fiscal policy regarding Japan. Then the paper turns to U.S.-China relations, focusing on Clinton's desire to bestow Most Favored Nation status on China, in order to increase and improve trade. The paper weighs the benefit of increased trade against the cost of China's human rights violations.
From the Paper
"There are many doom-sayers in the U.S. predicting that what was the southeast Asian financial crisis of several years ago, will reemerge in Japan in an even more catastrophic way, which would seriously impact trade agreements, import/export statistics and even the average American consumer who buys millions of Japanese-made products, from computers to microwave ovens. What made the situation in Japan worse than experts anticipated was the steady fall of the Japanese exchange rate, falling by more than 10% from March, 1998 through June. At the same time, Japan entered a recession, registering negative growth in the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998."

Canadian Trade Policies, 2005.
This paper discusses direct and indirect trade intervention policies for Canada.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 1 source, £ 18.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that devising a direct coercive intervention to promote Canadian trade is a complicated task because Canada's participation in such international forums, as the World Trade Organization and NAFTA, limit the choice of direct and coercive interventions as tariff barriers. The author points out that the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade may be well advised to consider an indirect intervention policy. The paper relates that the voluntary nature of this policy is attractive enough to acquire widespread adherence to boost significantly Canadian trade and that its indirect characteristics minimize Canadian exposure to retaliatory measures by its trading partners.
From the Paper
"It must be acknowledged that devising a direct, coercive intervention to promote Canadian trade is a complicated task given the fact that Canada's participation in such international forums as the World Trade Organization and NAFTA limit the choice of such direct and coercive interventions as tariff barriers. However, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade may be well advised to consider indirect interventions that, while voluntary, are attractive enough to acquire widespread adherence and thus may significantly boost Canadian trade while their indirect characteristics minimize Canadian exposure to retaliatory measures by our trading partners."
