An Evaluation of the External Trade Policy of the European Union in terms of a Unified Structure: Case of Doha Round
Abstract
In the first part of this study, the external trade policy of EU will be
explored by elaborating the policy tools and decision making procedures in
order to reach an argument about whether EU is a unified actor on these bases.
For this reason, in order to go into details, a comparison of European external
trade in goods and services will be specifically focused on in the second part
for the sake of any conclusion related to its collectivity on these trade
activities. In the third part, Doha International Trade Round will be
introduced as an example case to be studied in the final part, where the
reflections of a possible unified structure within the EU will be examined.
