This book incorporates the findings of formal analyses of the politics and dynamics of regionalism. It considers the relationship between regionalism and multilateralism and explores the economic advantages of nondiscriminatory trade liberalization, which the authors argue should be exploited to the maximum extent. The book also provides rules of thumb for regionalism, rules that are not inviolable but which should not be violated lightly. Designed as a practical guide for policymakers whose countries are considering membership in a trade bloc, this book will also be of interest to scholars and students of international trade.World Bank e-Library.Trade blocsRegionalismCommercial policyFree tradeInternational economic relationsTrade blocs.Regionalism.Commercial policy.Free trade.International economic relations.337.1Schiff Maurice W89233Winters L.
