Given the common interest in trade shared by the countries Hogwarts, The Land of Oz, Atlantis, and Wonderland, a cooperative arrangement that frees up trade among these countries is highly recommended. A high level of regional integration along the lines of the European Union is unlikely due to the differing regime types of each country. The arrangement proposed to fulfill the common interest in trade shared by these four countries is very similar NAFTA—the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Purpose and Schedule of the WHOA Agreement
The WHOA Agreement will create a free trade zone encompassing all of Hogwarts, The Land of Oz, Atlantis, and Wonderland. Each country will have to buy into this agreement as well as sign it. Buying into the

From a liberal perspective, the formation of the WHOA Agreement will, most importantly for each country, reduce—and hopefully eradicate—transaction costs, manage collective goods, and form due to a shared interest. Additionally, from a functionalist standpoint, “governance arrangements arise out of the basic, or functional, needs of people and states” (Karns and Mingst 40). In the case of these four countries, there are a few shared interests or needs that opening up trade would fulfill: the strengthening of each economy, providing security for the people of each country through an increased military, building infrastructure in each country, and the providing of (more) social services for the people of each country. The interests of each country differ slightly, but overall the interest to benefit from trade is shared.
Countries’ Reasons For, and Benefits Received From Joining Into WHOA
Wonderland, upon entering into this agreement, would no longer have to worry about the international demand surrounding tea. At a time where demand for tea is high, Wonderland could trade its tea, for free, to each of the three other countries for other commodities, thus diversifying its economy. With new commodities and a diversified economy, Wonderland could then trade its other commodities to international countries when the demand for tea is low, getting rid if the issue of a “vulnerable…enclave economy” based on the demand for tea. The Queen, in
It has to be a mutual attitude between the countries that are in trade, both need to be equal and be willing, and history has shown time and again, relationships between countries swing from best friends to mortal enemies very quickly. He says that America would be the sole country exuding this “free trade”
Unlike previous years of solely trading goods, the WTO allowed for trade to consist of property and services among different countries. Countries could now be globalized in all goods their country didn’t have through the use of free trade. The process of trading was revolutionized by new developments in technology as more and more countries began to trade.
The North American Free Trade Agreement, or N.A.F.T.A, was established to improve the economy of the United States, Mexico, and Canada. It has been close to twenty-three years since the treaty was officially signed; time has given us insight into the effects that this agreement has produced.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was designed to create trade that was mutually beneficial for all North American countries. Yet a recent change in the U.S. administration has threatened continued trade between the three major players – the U.S, Canada and Mexico. New President Donald J. Trump’s promises to renegotiate NAFTA have both Canada and Mexico on edge, and without stability, can possibly force Mexico to opt out of the agreement altogether. While NAFTA has holes in its implementation, this agreement has aided in economic growth, tripled foreign investment, and lowered prices within the US.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NATFA) shoved the American worker down a flight of stairs in the name of "Globalization"
While on the surface it seems that a free trade area would always be a
Concerning the third case,numerous food and agricultural groups in the U.S were concerned that a free-trade agreement would not include their industry . Moreover, a free trade agreement would reduce/eliminate already low tariffs and synchronize regulations governing industries like pharmaceuticals and auto parts.
It is commonly believed that free trade between nations is a mutually beneficial arrangement for all parties involved; indeed, this is held to be an absolute truth. Though free trade is undoubtedly the most effective form of commerce between countries from a purely economic standpoint, increasingly we find that our so-called "free trade agreements" are horribly unbalanced. Indicative of these fiascoes is the North American
The main interest of this work is to analyse this trade alliance from three different points of view to outline the similarities and differences in contrast to the European Union. To figure out about the initially mentioned question it is planned to start with the economic point of view in the first part. The second part will deal with the political aspects whilst
Since the mid-20th century, countries have progressively reduced barriers, subsidies to domestic industries and diverse restrictions on international commerce in order to promote specialization and greater efficiency in production. In theory, free trade allows nations to focus on their main comparative advantages and profit from cooperation and voluntary trade. This strategy is usually reinforced by treaties between two or more countries where commerce of goods and services can be handled across their common borders, without tariffs and other trade obstacles. As a key component of regional integration in the Americas, CAFTA-DR is one important example of this economic ideology.
Free trade areas, FTA, are economic integration arrangements in which barriers to trade (e.g. tariffs), exchange of goods and information among member nations are removed. It is arguable to say that fair trade aims to create equilibrium between LEDC's, less economically developed countries and developed nations in terms of trading activities and ethics. In saying this, free trading between more economically developed countries and LEDC's will mean
In 1994, the leaders of the thirty-four democratic countries of the Western Hemisphere launched the process of creating a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). The FTAA will be established by 2010 with the aim of gradually eradicating barriers to trade and investment in the region. The final characteristics of the FTAA will be determined through negotiations by government officials from the thirty-four participating countries. The trade issues that are presently under discussion are: market access; investment; services; government procurement; dispute settlement; agriculture; intellectual property; antidumping, subsidies and countervailing duties; and competition policy. Guiding principles for these negotiations
Globalization has become one of the most influential forces in the twentieth century. International integration of world views, products, trade and ideas has caused a variety of states to blur the lines of their borders and be open to an international perspective. The merger of the Europeans Union, the ASEAN group in the Pacific and NAFTA in North America is reflective of the notion of globalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement was the largest free trade zone in the world at its conception and set an example for the future of liberalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement is coming into it's twentieth anniversary on January 1st, 2014. 1 NAFTA not only sought to enhance the trade of goods and services across
Throughout the years, there has been a constant controversy over whether the World Trade Organization should enforce global free trade. The primary idea is to establish in which all are happy. Although there are many advocates for trade liberalization, as well as many who oppose. I believe free trade may be advantageous for both large and small-industrialized countries, but it does not favor the smaller developing countries needs primarily.
The World Trade Organisation (WTO) promotes free trade for the gain of private interests, over and above our health and the environment. It is fatally flawed and is moving the world in the wrong direction - away from peace, security and sustainability. By stalling on issues that are crucial to poorer countries, the WTO faces a crisis of legitimacy.
