Lilliput Lab WTO
Lilliput Lab WTO
Rather than commit itself to compromises within the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Bush administration is pursuing a policy of so-called competitive liberalization by signing free trade agreements (FTA) with single nations or sub-regional groupings around the world. But, the policy could backfire, because other countries might do the same and drop their commitment to the WTO to form “regional blocs to compete against the United States.”

Con queste parole Antonio Raimondi, presidente del VIS - Volontariato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo, ha aperto a Rifreddo di Pignola, Potenza, la XV Settimana di Educazione alla Mondialità dedicata quest'anno al tema della Migrazione e della Cooperazione Internazionale.
