ASSIGNMENT: Barriers to International Trade
At the bottom are the links to the readings and videos to see in order to work on this assignment. There is one attached as well.
There are many ways that nations can create a competitive advantage, and not all of them are naturally occurring. The strategic use of trade barriers can create an artificial import defect or inflate export figures through manipulation of currency and regulations. In this increasingly interdependent world, the question of whether trade barriers should exist may well now be one of “which ones are the most effective at achieving our goals as a nation.”
Among cries of “protectionism” world leaders are reducing international trade estimates as we speak. The link below will take you to a brief article and interview with Robert Azevedo, Director General of the WTO in an interview on September 6th on CNBC. After you have read the brief article and watched his interview, you will be ready to start your assignment this week.
