In this series, we examine how international trade and trade policy integrate the effects of globalisation into the domestic economy and our daily lives. The first report provided a background on international trade agreements in trade policy, and addressed topics on measuring international trade, trade and food policy, and trade and regional integration.This report addresses the following three topics:
- Chapter 1: Trade and the Healthcare Services Sector
- Chapter 2: Trade and the Movement of People
- Chapter 3: Trade and Labour
Why are international trade and trade policy important?
International trade and trade policy are important because they are enablers, integrating the effects of globalisation into the domestic economy, and consequently, affecting our daily lives.
