Free Trade Zones and Their Relation to GATT

Herbert G. Grubel

Chapter 7 in Issues in World Trade Policy, 1986, pp 140-151 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter1 I describe briefly free trade and market zones and note their rapid spread in recent years in many countries of the world. I then analyse the basic motives for their establishment. Public choice theory provides a plausible explanation for their political appeal.
