Australia and the Global Trade System provides a comprehensive
account of Australia's role in developing and maintaining the
multilateral trade system from its origins in 1947 to the present
day. Australia was one of the 23 original signatories to the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and its
participation was vital to the success of international efforts to
reconstruct a multilateral trade system after the disastrous
experiences of the 1930s. Since then, Australia has wielded far
more influence in the GATT, and its successor, the World Trade
Organization (WTO). This 2001 book, based on archival sources and
oral interviews, makes a significant contribution to our
understanding of Australia's trade policies, its commercial
diplomacy, and its role and position in the global political
economy. It provides a perspective on debates about the capacity of
small nations to be agents as well as subjects of history.
