Tercihli Ticaret Anlaşmalarının Yükselişi: Güney’in Perspektifinden Bir Bakış

Abstract

Son yirmi yıldır dünya ticaretinde büyük bir değişim yaşanmaktadır. 1990’ların başından bu yana dünya ticaret sisteminde ikili, bölgesel veya bölgeler arası tercihli ticaret anlaşmalarının sayısında önemli bir artış olmuş, bu eğilim son dönemde daha da hız kazanmıştır. Öte yandan gelişmekte olan ülkelerin (Güney), dünya ekonomisindeki ağırlıkları ve özellikle kendi aralarında yaptıkları ticaret (Güney-Güney ticareti) hızla artmaktadır. Bu çerçevede, bu çalışmanın temel amacı tercihli ticaret anlaşmalarındaki artışı Güney’in bakış açısıyla incelemektir. Çalışma bahse konu gelişmelerin öneminin gözden uzak tutulmamasını önermekte ve bu savı anılan gelişmelerin uluslararası ticari ilişkilerin yapısını ve gelişme yolundaki ülkelerin davranışlarını ve politika seçeneklerini derinden etkilemesine bağlamaktadır
