With the stagnation of the Doha Round of multilateral talks, trade
liberalisation is increasingly undertaken through free trade
agreements. Gabriel Siles-Brugge examines the EU's decision
following the 2006 'Global Europe' strategy to negotiate such
agreements with emerging economies. Eschewing the purely
materialist explanations prominent in the field, he develops a
novel constructivist argument to highlight the role of language and
ideas in shaping EU trade policy. Drawing on extensive interviews
and documentary analysis, Siles-Brugge shows how EU trade
policymakers have privileged the interests of exporters to the
detriment of import-competing groups, creating an ideational
imperative for market-opening. Even during the on-going economic
crisis the overriding mantra has been that the EU's future
well-being depends on its ability to compete in global markets. The
increasingly neoliberal orientation of EU trade policy has also had
important consequences for its economic diplomacy with the
developing economies of the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of
states.
