Abstract
Overview of Global Healthcare Trade
Implications of Trade in Healthcare
The Current Indian Health Scenario
Future Trends, Scope of Foreign Collaboration and Policy Environment
From the Paper
"Increasing trade in health care is almost certain to create dual structures-one catering to the rich segment of the population and the foreigners and the other to the people who can not afford high costs of out-of-pocket treatment or even a private health insurance. Hence, for the latter category, India needs to cover maximum population under some form of pre-payment system i.e. Community Health Insurance and Social Health Insurance. The challenge before the country is to ensure harmonious co-existence of the systems. A lot of thinking on creating political rewards and institutional sustaining of redistributive allocations is needed in the face of increasing healthcare commercialization. This is true whether or not the allocation process was regressive before healthcare market liberalization."

Abstract
This paper discusses the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the free trade that it supports. The paper presents and discusses the debate over the WTO and free trade and presents the views of those who support it and are critical of it. It examines the fundamental inequality in global trade that is fostered by the WTO and suggests that global trade serves to support the wealth and power of a global economic elite.
From the Paper
"As this example suggests, while global trade and its associated wealth may be expanding rapidly - a process which the WTO seems to support - in many cases this expansion serves to promote inequality on a global scale instead of shared prosperity. When we consider that only 1/200th of the price of an average coffee beverage is actually paid to the original harvester of the crop, we can understand the extraordinary profits made at different middle stages of the trade before coffee is actually consumed in the wealthy markets of the world. The expanding and highly profitable global trade in coffee thus allows us to understand that while trade may expand and greater wealth is created as a result, this does not necessarily have to be equally or fairly distributed wealth. In fact, in many cases, global trade seems to support greater inequality."

Abstract
The writer of this paper analyzes the growing problem of the sex trade industry in America as well as around the world. This paper details the sex trade problem in Asia in which over one million girls are reported to be working working as child prostitutes in brothels. The problem, however, is not confined to Asia alone but is manifested in a flourishing global sex trade or trafficking of children from one country to another and within national borders for the purposes of sexual exploitation. This paper discusses the illegal activity that takes place by international crime rings taking women and children captive with the aim of selling them as sex slaves. The writer also discusses the large amounts of money that are generated in the illegal sex trade industry. The trafficking of humans has grown so large in proportion that it is projected to be the world's most lucrative illegal activity with profits topping $7 billion annually. This paper delves into the criminal nature of the global sex trade in children that is further accentuated by the fact that most of these children are from underdeveloped countries and/or the poorer sections of society.
From the Paper
"Girl children are particularly vulnerable because they are forced to have repeated sex before their bodies have been prepared for it by nature. This results in physiological problems such as the tearing of flesh, which then becomes a breeding ground for sexually transmitted diseases. These unfortunate children are also exposed to the danger of AIDS that may end up endangering their very lives. Indeed, as Poulin and O'Grady point out, HIV is rampant among prostitutes all over the world. The female gender, as already observed, is particularly vulnerable, and this vulnerability only increases considering that, the global sex trade is more skewed towards the abducting of women. So much so, that Poulin terms it as feminization of migration, although he uses the term to signify the illegal trafficking of women for purposes of labor and sexual exploitation."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Heckscher-Ohlin Model as an example of global trading patterns and seeks an explanation for why the Leontief paradox occured and why it is that Factor price equalization does not seem to have occurred. It contains references to relevant American trading data as well as two detailed tables of international economics data.
From the Paper
"International trade is a logical and natural advance in the affairs of man. If one has a good to barter with then an optimal level of indifference between different goods can be achieved. However there is much debate about whether trade is due entirely to a relative abundance of supply of a particular factor or are there other reasons. Ever since Eli Heckscher, based on a hunch, unveiled his ideas on international trade theory, in 1919 it has been held, by some, as a satisfactory explanation of International Trade, however, is it really that clear cut?

Global Trade: Different Perspectives, 2007.
This paper explores the debate surrounding free trade and trade liberalization.

Abstract
The paper examines five articles and their fiscal, sovereign, environmental and social perspectives of free trade. The paper is of the opinion that investors are fundamentally concerned with profit and not on developing emerging economies. The paper claims that despite the rhetoric to the contrary, there is little being addressed in terms of socioeconomic issues that negatively affect trade partners.
From the Paper
"The debate around world trade is a much discussed topic in the news and society at large. In studying the issues as presented in the five articles discussed, it becomes clear that there are a number of perspectives including fiscal, sovereign, environmental, and social. Each perspective has merit; however the perspectives are not autonomous but rather interdependent and there seems to be a divide that exists between those who discuss fiscal issues versus those who discuss social issues."

From the Paper
"FREE TRADE & INTERNATIONAL PEACE
Proponents of global free trade, especially corporate-led free trade, promote the idea that free trade among nations leads to peace among nations (Sirico, 1998). The proponents of such global free trade base their arguments on rather simplistic reasoning such as the following proposition:
Western Europe was rife with tariffs and other trade barriers from 1890 through 1915, and this situation led to the debacle of the First World War. In contrast, the major nations of Western Europe created the free trade European Economic Community in the late-1950s and Western Europe has been free of armed conflict since that time.
What such reasoning fails to consider is that the argument places the ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses third world countries and the multilateral trade negotiations that they deal with in order to help determine the prospects that they have for continued growth. In addition, the paper also looks at a case study of the steel industry in order to show how international trade affects industries.
Outline
The Growth of Third World Countries
Case Study - The Steel Industry
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Much of the information that must be addressed when it comes to subsidies and countervailing duties deals with multilateral trade negotiations. These are generally designed to help Third World countries develop more economically and have changed much of the structure of international investment and trade (Diaz-Alejandro & Helleiner, 1987). Analyzing these negotiations and looking at the economic effects that they have shows that many of the trade agreements have slowed down the development in Third World countries (Ho, 1998). This can be seen by the fact that these trade negotiations do not address the link between trade and debt or issues like primary commodity trades (Ho, 1998). Because of this, the liberalization that is seen between countries that are already developed and countries that are just developing is very unequal. "

Global Trade and Self-Interest, 2008.
This paper discusses the collapse of the world trade negotiations between developed and developing countries.
1,881 words (approx. 7.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, £ 43.95

Abstract
The paper attributes the failure of the world trade negotiations to the conflict of interest between developed and developing countries. The paper explains that while developed countries tend to focus on their profit margins rather than the reduction of worldwide poverty, developing countries have their own industrial upliftment in mind. The paper explains why it is much more sustainable and beneficial for all involved to uplift poor countries towards the international marketplace instead of offering financial aid. The paper contends that if delegates from the developed world can remove their mental barriers, they can perhaps also remove the trade and subsidy barriers that are currently keeping poor countries from alleviating their economic crises on a permanent, long-term scale.
From the Paper
"There are a variety of elements that play a role in World Trade negotiations. The fact that many different countries from both the developed and developing world are involved in these negotiations tend to complicate the issues. Indeed, each country has different interests and focal points in mind when negotiating. Developed countries for example tend to focus on their profit margins rather than the reduction of worldwide poverty, while developing countries have their own industrial upliftment in mind. This is the core of the reasons for the latest failures in Global Trade negotiations."

"Introduction
As a result of revolutions in communications and transportation, goods can travel more easily than at any other time in history.

This research considers the effects of corporate policy, government intervention and the emergence of regional economic groupings on trade patterns, with special attention given to the Customs Modernization Act recently implemented within the United States.
Corporate Policies

"Introduction
Today?s economy is a global economy. American cars, once the proud output of Detroit, are now conglomerations of components from throughout the world, and may even be manufactured in Mexico for sale in the United States. Japanese electronics dominate the American market, and American soft drinks can be found in virtually every nation on the planet. Companies no longer think merely in local or even national terms, but consider the international community when developing their marketing plans. As a result of revolutions in communications and transportation, goods--and workers--can travel more easily than at any other time in history. Trade patterns have changed as a result of this freedom of movement, and nations have taken up trade policy as a matter of strategic importance. This research considers the..."

Economic Trade Policy and Globalization, 2007.

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."

The World Trade Organization and Globalization, 2006.
A look at the World Trade Organization and whether it is tool for promoting global equity or global inequity.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The World Trade Organization or WTO is a relatively new body created in 1995 and one which its founders probably never expected to create the massive controversy that it has generated. It has come to represent globalization, and how one views it tends to reflect how one views the massive corporate expansion of the last few decades. This paper examines the WTO and considers whether it is really a tool working towards world harmony and trade accords that promote global equity or if it is just another example of consolidation of power by global elites to the exclusion of the poor majority.
