Trade liberalization, as promoted by the World Trade Organization
(WTO), has become one of the dominant drivers and most
controversial aspects of globalization. Trade sustainability impact
assessments (SIAs) were introduced as a means of generating better
understanding especially of the social and environmental impacts of
trade liberalisation, and of making those impacts more consistent
with sustainable development. This book takes a hard look at the
experience of Trade SIAs to date, and the extent to which they have
achieved their objectives and improved the outcomes of trade
negotiations. It proposes several ways in which Trade SIAs could be
made more effective, and illustrates these in respect of
controversial sectors in which trade liberalisation has been
implemented or proposed, including commodities, services and
investment. Finally the book makes proposals beyond SIA through
which some of the conflicts between trade liberalization and
sustainable development could be more effectively addressed.
Written by top researchers and experts on trade SIAs, this book is
vital for researchers, academics, post-graduate students and policy
makers working on any aspect of impact assessment, international
trade or globalisation more generally. In addition, the book will
provide a particularly useful background for those considering how
the environment and trade interrelate at both global and regional
levels, with some particular insights on climate change and trade
policies.
