Colombia and Free Trade Agreements: Between Mobilisation and ConflictFree Trade Agreements • September 27th, 2013
On 19 August 2013, community organisations and social movements linked with the agrarian sector launched a national strike in Colombia that quickly took on the character of a popular mobilisation as other social sectors joined the protests. Health, education, and transport workers, as well as urban, indigenous, and afro-descendent organisations filled the streets and roads throughout the country. There was strong repression on the part of police and military forces in areas of dispute, characterised by excessive use of force against the protestors.

Creative Industries - Free Trade AgreementsFree Trade Agreements • September 10th, 2021
The creative industries are growing at more than twice the rate of the UK economy, generating over £100bn per annum in GVA - greater than the automotive, life sciences, aerospace and oil and gas industries combined. They employ over 2 million people, with jobs in the sector growing at three times the UK average, and produce more than £30bn in service exports (10% of the UK total) and more than £15bn in goods. This value is generated from a diverse range of industries - from architecture and advertising through to video games and film - and from businesses large and small, including a significant entrepreneurial freelance community. 95% of creative businesses employ four people or fewer, and over a third of the sector’s workforce are self-employed.
Free Trade Agreements（FTAs）in East Asia: Past Trend and Current SituationFree Trade Agreements • March 18th, 2023
Two decades have passed since the formation of a region-wide FTA in East Asia began to be dis- cussed. Two major initiatives, the Trans-Pacific Partnership（TPP）and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership（RCEP), began to be negotiated, but neither has yet to be enacted, largely because of the opposition by a group of people who would be affected negatively by market opening. Strong polit- ical will of the leaders for establishing a region-wide FTA and appropriate policies to deal with potential losers are needed to successfully realize a region-wide FTA.

Mega Regional Free Trade Agreements: Potential Game Changers for Global Fresh ProduceFree Trade Agreements • November 20th, 2014
Since the 1990s, there has been a significant increase in the number of free trade agreements (FTAs) occurring. These trade agreements facilitate trade by removing barriers such as tariffs, taxes and other regulations. As a result, total global exports of agricultural products have grown to approximately US$1.8 trillion as of 2013 (Euromonitor).

Free Trade Agreements and International Production Networks: China and the Automotive Industry1Free Trade Agreements • March 8th, 2010
It is inconceivable to consider International Production Networks (IPN) in Asia, however it is defined, without taking into account the important role that China plays within such networks. The integration of China into the global economy in general and East Asia in particular has further deepened international production fragmentation to unprecedented levels (Haddad, 2007; Athukorala, 2007). At the turn of the decade, China’s processing exports (exports that are produced from processing and/or assembly of imported inputs) accounted for nearly half of its total exports. In 2006, 51.5% of China’s intra East Asian trade was in machinery products, of which more than half was trade in parts and components. The rate of annual growth in parts and components with its East Asian partners between 1993 and 2006 was a staggering 22.7% (Kimura and Obashi, 2008). The drivers of the proliferation of IPNs as described in earlier chapters can be clearly seen in China. Three drivers of this process as

Free Trade Agreements Have Limited ImpactFree Trade Agreements • May 19th, 2021
Free Trade Agreements between two or more countries or parties have been the centrepiece of international trade policy since the formation of the World Trade Organisation 25 years ago. Since 1995, no major round of multilateral trade liberalisation has been concluded, but there has been a sharp rise in the number of bilateral trade agreements. While some of these agreements have real consequences for trade in services and some administrative rules for trade, most of them do not because they focus mainly on tariffs on industrial and agricultural goods. Yet the economic gains from these reductions are now extremely limited. In fact, it is now difficult to improve the global market in goods by cutting tariffs.

Kosovo estimates are much higher at around $750 million, $450 million of that illegal. also in this article:
