The politics of international trade have changed dramatically over
the past 20 years. Advances in technology have spurred a new kind
of 'trade' involving transfers of components and materials across
borders but within firms. Trade in services, foreign direct
investment and sales by affiliates of foreign-owed companies have
grown more rapidly than trade in goods, making national rules and
regulations more significant barriers to trade. The effects of
'non-trade' policies on trade have engaged new actors in trade
politics, not least in the European Union (EU). The emergence of a
more active bloc of developing countries alongside a vibrant
international civil society, including environmental and consumer
groups and ministries, have made trade politics increasingly
lively, complex, and challenging for the EU. Meanwhile, the World
Trade Organization has become not only a primary focus for EU trade
policy but also a lightning rod for protest, a powerful 'legaliser'
of trade diplomacy, and an arena where it is often difficult, even
impossible, to separate private from public interests. The European
Union and the New Trade Politics provides a state of the art
analysis of how the EU shapes and is shaped by the 'new' trade
politics. This book was previously published as a special issue of
The Journal of European Public Policy.
