Abstract

This study established the influence of regional tariff policy on its international relations in the East African community. This study was guided by spatial theory of trade. Descriptive research design was used to achieve the study objectives. The target population for this study constituted 184 officials of Rwanda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation from whom a sample of 126 respondents was selected using stratified random sampling method. Data was collected using a questionnaire and was analyzed using descriptive, inferential and thematic content analysis techniques. Analyzed statistical data was presented using tables and charts while qualitative data was documented using narratives. This study concluded that regional tariff policy has a positive and significant effect on Rwanda’s International Relations in East African Community. From the findings, this study recommended that the government should encourage the reduction of tariff barriers among member states to promote regional integration and expand market access for Rwandan goods and services. This can be achieved through negotiations within the EAC's Common External Tariff (CET) framework. Key Words: Regional Tariff Policy, International Relations, Trade Barriers CITATION : Cyusa, U.

区域关税政策对卢旺达在东非共同体国际关系的影响:以外交事务和国际合作为例
本研究确立了区域关税政策对东非共同体国际关系的影响。本研究以贸易空间理论为指导。为达到研究目的,采用描述性研究设计。本研究的目标人口为卢旺达外交和国际合作部的184名官员,采用分层随机抽样方法从中选出126名答复者。使用问卷收集数据,并使用描述性、推断性和专题内容分析技术进行分析。分析的统计数据使用表格和图表呈现,而定性数据使用叙述记录。本研究的结论是,区域关税政策对卢旺达在东非共同体的国际关系具有积极而显著的影响。根据研究结果,本研究建议政府应鼓励减少成员国之间的关税壁垒,以促进区域一体化,扩大卢旺达商品和服务的市场准入。这可以通过EAC共同对外关税(CET)框架内的谈判来实现。关键词:区域关税政策,国际关系,贸易壁垒引文:Cyusa, j.j., Miluwi, j.o,等Munga, J.(2023)。区域关税政策对卢旺达在东非共同体国际关系的影响:以外交和国际合作为例。商业战略杂志;管理学报,2010(3),446 - 458。
