Topic:Trade and Development
The Program’s trade initiative explores the political economy of free trade agreements in the United States as well as in Latin America. Trade issues have mobilized popular and civil society groups throughout the Americas and have caused disputes within governments and ruling coalitions. Because trade-related reforms take place in the context of economic dislocations throughout the region, they have generated unprecedented debate over winners and losers in the process of globalization. Through comparative research and public dialogue, the project seeks a deeper understanding of the distributional impacts of free trade and related public policies to enhance the positive impacts of trade liberalization.
