Foreword
Every year The World Economy publishes a Special Issue on developments in global trade policy. It has done so for almost two decades. In terms of coverage there are several elements that repeat each year, most notably the features on WTO Trade Policy Reviews which have been published over the previous year. Other components are driven by topical issues and specially commissioned mini-symposia. It is an issue which receives a lot of attention, so much so that it is subsequently published as a stand-alone book.
Global Trade Policy 2011 includes three new appraisals of WTO Trade Policy Reviews: for Turkey, China and the Dominican Republic. There is also a comprehensive survey of the links between trade policy and economic growth. Either side of that survey are two mini-symposia. The first focuses on WTO / GATT issues, including the stalled Doha Round and modelling the extensive margin of trade; the subject of the second is regional trading arrangements and some of their side effects.
This collection makes for a broadly based Global Trade Policy 2011 and I am grateful both to the authors of the contributions and to Wiley-Blackwell for their expeditious processing of the manuscript.
