Declining Trade and Investment Barriers
After WWII, advanced Western countries beganremoving trade and investment barriers
Under GATT (the forerunner of the WTO), over 100nations negotiated further decreases in tariffs and madesignificant progress on a number of non-tariff issues
Under the WTO, a mechanism now exists for disputeresolution and the enforcement of trade laws, and thereis a push to cut tariffs on industrial goods, services, and
agricultural products
