DESCRIPTION
If open world trading system continues to be the ultimate goal, than several important questions come up-weather the rise of regional trading Arrangments (RTAs) should be welcomed as a step on the road that will ultimately reinforce global free trade or weather regional trading blocks should be condemned as institutions that undermine the multilateral system.
