Development, 2014, vol. 57, issue 3-4, 423-432

Abstract: This article examines the implications for social inclusion, equality and the fulfillment of human rights of the recent proliferation of preferential trade agreements (PTAs). It considers the impact that PTAs have had on small and medium-sized enterprises, smallholder farmers and women. It also considers the limits on domestic policy space mandated by PTAs, and the implications this has for the ability of governments’ to regulate in the public interest.
