Produktbeschreibung

Trade Protectionism in an Uncertain and Interconnected Global Economy argues that in a global context dominated by economic uncertainty and interdependencies, the mechanisms that have fueled the diffusion of trade liberalisation under the World Trade Organization can also become channels for protectionism.

Rezensionen

"Global cooperation is today more needed than ever. If you think that current levels of global interdependence cannot be reversed, you need to read Nicolás Albertoni's work. Using statistical and qualitative research he convincingly and elegantly argues that the same vehicles that help spread global integration, such as preferential trade agreements and global value chains, are now being used to introduce new and murkier forms of protectionism. This excellent study is a must read for any scholar interested in the political economy of trade policy, and policymakers trying to kick-start global cooperation in the area of international trade."

Marcelo Olarreaga, Professor of Economics, University of Geneva, Switzerland

"This study is an extraordinary balance between the contribution to the literature and the practice of trade policy. It gathers new evidence on a key issue: the risk of protectionism through non-tariff measures in an inevitably interdependent world. It is a bold investigation that persists in the urgency of continuing to deepen trade integration based on pillars that promote transparency and encourage those responsible and scholars of trade policy to advance in this regard."

Andrés Rebolledo, Former Minister of Energy of Chile (2016-2018); President of Chile's National Oil Company; Vice Minister of International Economic Relations of Chile

"Since the Treaty of Westphalia, States are entities that, as Lord Palmerston said, have no friends, but permanent interests. Therefore, integration has been and is a response to the global geopolitics that modernity poses. The contribution of Nicolás Albertoni (colleague from USC) is realistic and courageous. He shows that protectionist regulations are aimed at neutralizing the trade openness that the fall in tariffs deepens. A book that, in my opinion, takes into account without saying so the four demons that coexist with integration: ideology, asymmetry, autarky and hypocrisy. For this reason, his proposal is challenging and opportune, not only for the academy, but for politicians, diplomats, businessmen, workers and especially students. An excellent synthesis of professional seriousness and political maturity."

Sergio Abreu, Secretary General of the Latin American Integration Association; Former Minister of Foreign Relations of Uruguay (1993-1995)
