Box B: The Multilateral Context for European and Australian Economic Cooperation

National Institute Global Economic Outlook, 2023, issue 11, 41-48

Abstract: Growth in international trade and commerce in the post-World War II period has benefited from global institutions that have supported economic cooperation and development and domestic policies that have allowed countries to open themselves to international trade and investment. This environment has allowed mutually beneficial trade with foreign firms competing in domestic markets, domestic firms growing through exports and the transfer of technology and ways of working between countries and regions. Broader economic development has also seen dramatic increases in income and living standards. But recently, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the trade disputes between the United States and China, and the development of regional trade agreements have led some commentators including the IMF (Georgieva et al, 2022) to suggest that we are seeing an increase in global fragmentation as discussed by Naisbitt (2022).
