Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the potential implications of the transparency provisions in the Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations (PACER) Plus for gender outcomes in the region of nine Pacific island countries (9PICs) -Kiribati, Nauru, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, the Cook Islands and Niue - that signed the PACER Plus agreement with Australia and New Zealand in 2017. It also examines the socioeconomic, gender, and trade profiles of the 9PICs and discusses the gender implications of trade. The 9PICs share the economic features, challenges, and opportunities of small island developing states. The main challenge is their "smallness" with respect to area, population, and economies, which is a key driver of their economic vulnerability because it implies small domestic economies and a narrow resource base, resulting in limited production, export, and employment opportunities. Given these challenges, the PACER Plus agreement has taken into account the different levels of development through progressive dismantling of tariffs and other trade restrictions that differ across the 9PICs, as well as through financial and technical support to be provided by Australia and New Zealand to the 9PICs in the implementation stage.

The contributors focus particularly on cooperation in five areas: development, commodities, technology, human resources, and issues and directions. Their papers explore both the broad questions of cooperation in regional economic development and more practical concerns such as appropriate technology, political constraints, and foreign aid.

Book excerpt: This study examines the relationship of trade integration to economic growth. The study encompasses two preferential trade agreements (PTAs), the Pacific Island Countries Trade Agreement (PICTA) and the South Pacific Regional Trade and Economic Co-operation Agreement (SPARTECA) plus, the World Trade Organization (WTO) from the perspective of regional economic growth for the small island developing states of the Pacific (Pacific SIDS). In a regression model with a large dataset covering thirteen small island developing states of the Pacific from 1970 to 2010, this study finds evidence to suggest a positive influence on growth for the trade agreement PICTA; in comparison to a non-discriminating trading environment, i.e., membership in the WTO. This thesis argues against the conventional wisdom that "free or freer trade fosters economic growth" in all states (Williamson 1998). We contend that "free" trade fosters economic growth and that "freer" trade, as represented with higher levels of openness, could foster negative growth for the Pacific SIDS. We assert that a positive influence of free trade policies upon growth may be conditional to the level of openness the small island states' domestic markets can tolerate. The evidence found in this study supports the existence of a unique international trading environment for the small developing island states, i.e., the Pacific islands and the discussion surrounding the suggested-possible concept of diminishing returns in trade.
