Changed context• End of the Cold War• Global interdependence • Neo-liberal ideas in OECD countries (and GEMs)
– Signaling openness, market access– Frustration with WTO/GATT– Change of US, Japanese and EU attitudes

The Political-Economy of Regionalism:Economic Debates
• Trade Diversion vs. Trade Creation• Stumbling Bloc vs. Stepping Stone
• New rent-seeking (e.g. preference erosion)• Domino Theory (Baldwin) / Export Discrimination
(Dür)

Potential EffectsEconomic consequences More trade among members, but limited So far small drivers for trade reforms Not significant trade diversion (depends on tariff levels) Increased FDI Little overall effect on economic welfare (Ravenhill 2007, GEP 2005)
But, Spaghetti-Bowl „transaction“ costs: Rules of Origin Political exemptions: labor mobility, specific sector protection (e.g.
agriculture, services) Not well defined dispute resolution mechanisms Not much pressure to negotiate multilaterally
