Sally (director, European Centre for International Political Economy, Belgium) discusses trade policy in the early 21st century with what he describes as "a non-Western, especially Asian, slant" (not to mention a "free trade" slant). Following a brief intellectual history of "free trade" and "protectionism," he discusses the political economy of trade policy and trade-policy reform, the necessity for more realism in the World Trade Organization and Chinese and American cooperation in reforming the WTO, preferential trade agreements in Asia and their political and economic complications, China as an engine of unilateral liberalization, and the case for "free trade" in the 21st century.
