This book was released on 2016 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Customs Union proposed for four members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)- the Free Trade Area established among the 12 members of the CIS- likely to lock those countries into the old technology of the former Soviet Union. The effects of such organizations will be especially negative for the countries that have already established relatively liberal trade regimes.In the aftermath of the breakup of the Soviet Union, trade among the new independent states collapsed. To help reestablish interstate trade, the 12 members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) established a Free Trade Area. More recently, four members of the CIS- Kazakstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Russia- in principle to establish a Customs Union.Michalopoulos and Tarr analyze the economic implications for potential members of establishing such a Customs Union. They conclude that the dynamic effects of the Union (and the Free Trade Area) are likely to be negative, because they would tend to lock the countries into the old technology of the former Soviet Union. The static effects would tend to be mixed but would be more harmful to countries that have already established relatively liberal trade regimes with lower average and less-differentiated tariffs than the common external tariff contemplated by the proposed Customs Union.This paper-a joint product of the International Trade Division, International Economics Department, and the Russia and Central Asia Department-is part of a larger effort in the Bank to analyze the effects of different trade regimes in countries in transition.

Download or read book Regional Trade Integration and WTO Accession written by Ms.Patrizia Tumbarello and published by INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the appropriate sequencing between accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the implementation of the Eurasian Economic Community (EAEC) customs union and whether the latter facilitates or delays WTO accession for some member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). If EAEC members pursue a coordinated approach toward WTO accession, this may cause delays that benefit some countries at the expense of others. The paper simulates the welfare effects resulting from the two sequencing alternatives (customs union and WTO or the reverse). The results show that, from a consumer surplus standpoint, it would be preferable to join the WTO ahead of the EAEC customs union. This paper does not attempt to assess the welfare implications of joining the EAEC as a political and economic entity, but only the welfare implications resulting from the implementation of the EAEC customs union.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Regionalism written by Tanja A. Börzel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Regionalism - the first of its kind - offers a systematic and wide-ranging survey of the scholarship on regionalism, regionalization, and regional governance. Unpacking the major debates, leading authors of the field synthesize the state of the art, provide a guide to the comparative study of regionalism, and identify future avenues of research. Twenty-seven chapters review the theoretical and empirical scholarship with regard to the emergence of regionalism, the institutional design of regional organizations and issue-specific governance, as well as the effects of regionalism and its relationship with processes of regionalization. The authors explore theories of cooperation, integration, and diffusion explaining the rise and the different forms of regionalism. The handbook also discusses the state of the art on the world regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Eurasia, Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Various chapters survey the literature on regional governance in major issue areas such as security and peace, trade and finance, environment, migration, social and gender policies, as well as democracy and human rights. Finally, the handbook engages in cross-regional comparisons with regard to institutional design, dispute settlement, identities and communities, legitimacy and democracy, as well as inter- and transregionalism.

Book excerpt: This paper discusses the political economy behind the principal trade policy decisions in Russia since independence. I discuss why export restraints were widely employed in the early transition years and why the export quotas proved more difficult to remove than anticipated. Why it was so difficult to resolve the monetary basis for the collapse in trade among the newly independent states. Why the search for rents for Russian industry motivated the creation of a customs union among selected countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States, but also proved its undoing. How Russian leaders initially were exceptionally insightful in seeing WTO accession as a golden opportunity for domestic reform, but why in recent years they have turned to industrial policy for diversification. I discuss the possibly unique political economy of Russia in which political contributions are extracted without political influence.
