| Abstract | Initiated in 1957 by the treaty of Rome, discriminatory trade arrangements recently proliferated and are more than 300 nowadays. They come under the general denomination of preferential trade agreements (PTAs). Originally exclusively regional and allowed by the exemption of article 24 of GATT, PTAs are now predominantly trans-regional, whether notified or not to WTO, a completely new logic of trade negotiations and enlarge the scope of negotiations to areas which do not fall under WTO mandate. They have become preferred policy instruments and serve as a forum for negotiating various policy issues. The scope, coverage and institutionalization of these agreements may vary to a large extent, displaying widespread heterogeneity. |
