Public–Private Relationships in Trade Policy-making (ePub)

-->In an ever more globalized and pluralized world, more attention is paid to engaging private parties in the process of trade policy-making, as non-state actors are often directly affected by trade policy shaped by governments. However, despite growing interest in this issue, there has been a relative lack of academic research on public–private relationships in trade policy-making under any kind of framework.The book, Public–Private Relationships in Trade Policy-making, proposes an analytical framework to examine various levels of public engagement, both in the international and national arena. By analyzing the WTO at the international level, and the US, EU, and Korea at the national level based on the author's proposed framework, this book goes beyond a mere descriptive approach to public engagement in trade policy-making to offer meaningful implications for policymakers in developing countries, which are increasingly acknowledging the importance of public–private relationships in the field of trade. -->Contents:Introduction:Public–Private Relationships in Trade Policy-makingPurpose and Scope of BookDefinitionsUnderstanding Public–Private Relationships in Trade Policy-making:Changing Environment of Trade Policy-makingEvolution of Public–Private Relationships at the National and International LevelsGoals of Public–Private Relationships in Trade Policy-makingAnalytical Frameworks of Public–Private Relationships in Trade Policy-making:Three Levels of Public Engagement in Trade Policy-makingThree Models of Public Engagement in Trade Policy-making at the National LevelAppendix: Theoretical UnderpinningPublic–Private Relationships in Trade Policy-making at the International Level:The Legal Basis for Public–Private Relationships in the WTOEnhancing Transparency in the WTOConsultation with the PublicPublic Participation in the Multilateral Trade RegimeAnalysis and ConclusionPublic–Private Relationships in Trade Policy-making at the National Level:Public–Private Relationships in US Trade Policy-makingPublic–Private Relationships in EU Trade Policy-makingAnalysis and ConclusionPublic–Private Relationships in Trade Policy-making in Korea:Background of Trade Policy-making in KoreaAnalysis and ConclusionConclusion --> -->Readership: Government officials, international organisations. -->Keywords:Trade Policy;Trade Negotiations;Public–Private Relationships;Transparency;Consultation;ParticipationReview:Key Features:This book is the first-ever attempt to examine public–private relationships in trade policy-making at the international and national levels within an analytical frameworkThis book is useful for trade professionals, including academics and policymakers, especially since a growing number of countries are seeking measures for building a better relationship between public and private actors in trade policy-makingThis book is the first of its kind to address and analyze Korea's public engagement under the proposed framework.
