A Middle East Free Trade Area: Economic Interdependence and Peace Considered

Bessma Momani

The World Economy, 2007, vol. 30, issue 11, 1682-1700

Abstract: The Bush administration hopes that through a Middle East Free Trade Area (MEFTA), peace and stability can be achieved through intra‐regional economic cooperation. The current impediments to intra‐regional economic cooperation, however, will make a MEFTA a hub‐and‐spoke trade relationship between the United States and the Middle East. Neoliberal arguments for the interrelation of peace and economic interdependence in the context of the Middle East are then considered.
