Age breakdown of population correct answers p. 91947,

general agreement on tariffs and trade (GATT) correct answers several nations began negotiating
to limit worldwide tariffs and encourage free trade. At that time, worldwide tariffs averaged 45
percent. Seven rounds of tariff negotiations reduced the average worldwide tariffs on
manufactured goods from 45 percent to less than 7 percent.

World Trade Organization (WTO) correct answers The WTO provides a formal structure for
continued negotiations and for settling trade disputes among nations.
150 nations in the WTO, up from 92 when the 1986 GATT talks began, including 29 of the UN-
classified least-developed countries. Thirty other countries, including Russia, seek WTO

, membership. Since 1995, tariffs on industrial products have fallen from an average of 6.3 percent
to 3.8 percent

Doha round (p.10) correct answers The latest trade negotiations continue the tradition of
lowering trade barriers to facilitate trade between countries.14 The most recent trade talks
occurred in December of 2013 and resulted in the "Bali Package." All 157 members of the WTO
participated in the talks and agreed on a number of issues among which the following are most
critical: (1) trade facilitation whereby all member states agree to sim- plify customs procedures
to make trade faster, easier, and more efficient, and (2) duty- free, quota-free access for least
developed nations to export to wealthier countries

aguments for WTO correct answers Since the early GATT agreements, world trade has grown at
more than four times the output of the world's gross domestic product. This suggests that the
world's economies are increasingly more intertwined and mutually stimulated.

arguments against WTO correct answers WTO favors the developed nations because it is more
difficult for poorer nations to compete in an unregulated world. Environmentalists note that free
trade encourages large multinational compa- nies to move environmentally damaging production
to poorer and often environmen- tally sensitive countries; that is, commercial interests have
priority over the environment, health, and safety. Labor unions see free trade leading to the
migration of jobs from higher-wage countries to lower-wage countries.

regional trade agreements correct answers free trade areas, are agreements among groups of
nations to reduce tariffs and to develop similar technical and economic standards. Such
agreements have usually led to more trade among the member nations. Some argue that these
agreements are the first step toward complete globalization. Others criti- cize the agreements as
benefiting only trade group members and being harmful for the poorer nations left out of the
agreements, such as the Caribbean countries that are not North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) members.
Although they do benefit member countries the most, such agreements are more politically
manageable than worldwide trade agreements.

the three largest agreements account for nearly half of the world's trade correct answers EU,
NAFTA, and APEC.

European Union correct answers includes 28 members,
EU originated after World War II with the main premise that if the countries became
economically interdependent through trade and collaboration, they would stop being in conflict.
the EU took off in 1992, when countries allowed goods and services to move across borders
without customs duties and quo- tas. More recently, EU member countries adopted a unified
currency called euro. EU member countries currently represent 450 million individuals and
an .area of signifi- cant economic importance.

North American Free Trade Agreement (p.11) correct answers links the United States, Canada,
and Mexico in an economic bloc that allows the relatively free exchange of goods and ser- vices.
