Regionalism and the (dis)advantage of dispute settlement access

Article Abstract:

The dispute settlement processes of regional trade agreements are compared to multilateral or global trade partnerships to determine the effectiveness of said processes in different systems. A model is developed wherein two governments form a trade agreement in either a global or a regional setup. The state of political and economic relations are used as independent variables. Results show that changing dispute settlement procedures to suit different settings lack merit and has no beneficial effect.

Sanctions on South Africa: what did they do?

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze the impact of economic sanctions on South Africa. The psychological aspects of the sanctions were examined. Results indicated that the economic sanctions were influenced by Nationalist Party government to stiffen its repression. Moreover, the demise of apartheid in the country correlates with the political opposition of the black majority, the inefficiency of the apartheid system and the fall of the Soviet Union.

A political-economic analysis of free-trade agreements

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the political and economic effects of bilateral free trade agreements reveals that offering substantial gains for key industries may ultimately undermine multilateral trade liberalization. The study also reveals that countries likely to commit this mistake are those with similar factor endowments and that bilateral free trade agreements are likely to result in decreased political support for multilateral negotiations.
