We argue that the strength of UAE engagement in this region is consistent with its attempts to build, deploy and benefit from soft power globally through economic statecraft in a mutually reinforcing series of bilateral and multilateral relationships. These include forums such as the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) and the expanding BRICS grouping (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). The article draws on primary and secondary data in English, Portuguese and Spanish, focusing mainly on UAE relations with Brazil and Venezuela. We find that through a myriad of growing investment relations and first-mover advantage on arms and industrial cooperation, the UAE is well positioned vis-à-vis other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states to benefit from the economic, diplomatic and security ties that could boost its relational autonomy in a competitive and uncertain regional and international environment.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 4","pages":"593-603"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140687169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Far from merely reducing tariffs, they now set out a detailed discipline also on behind-the-border measures. Due to their trade-restrictive potential, technical barriers to trade (TBTs) are now systematically regulated in PTAs. Since PTAs discriminate by definition, it is pivotal to understand whether their regulation of TBTs may be reconciled with the multilateral non-discrimination obligation. Against this backdrop, this article aims to assess whether WTO-incompatible TBT provisions in PTAs may benefit from the GATT 1994 ‘Regional Exception’, that is, Article XXIV. I will argue that, by virtue of the lex specialis principle, Article XXIV may not shield violations of the TBT Agreement. The impact of this study is two-fold. First, it shows that Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) must respect the Most-Favoured Nation (MFN) clause when integrating their domestic policies. Second, using TBTs as a case study, it proposes some crucial adjustments to WTO case law, that should be considered also when deciding on the interplay between the GATT 1994 and WTO Agreements other than the TBT Agreement.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 3","pages":"528-538"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.13344","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140626380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the existing literature has explored the determinants of the design of sustainability provisions in trade agreements, few works have explored when countries will accept/reject those provisions once their content cannot be changed. Based on insights from game theory, we flesh out the conditions under which there will be an equilibrium in favor of hard sustainability provisions in trade deals. We then present empirical illustrations related to Mexico's participation in the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) and Brazil's participation in the EU-Mercosur trade negotiations. Our model shows that (1) fears of partner opportunism, (2) the costs of nonparticipation in trade deals, and (3) costs of adjustments to hard trade-sustainability commitments are key to understanding whether a compromise can arise on trade and strong sustainability commitments. The model highlights what sorts of concessions ought to be made for negotiations to prosper. The findings point to how the changing structure of trade governance may affect the decision-making process of Global South countries. The paper concludes with recommendations and avenues for further research.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 2","pages":"329-341"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140597958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, private participation in emerging market and developing economies' infrastructure has declined over the past decade, reflecting persistent structural challenges and risks in the business environment. The decline was broad-based and gained momentum following the 2013 taper tantrum and the end of the commodity super cycle. Incentivizing greater private sector participation in infrastructure will require policies to improve access to long-term finance and to derisk the business environment. This will require efforts to strengthen the banking sector regulation and supervision, to improve the legal and contractual environment, and to limit information asymmetries. Deepening local financial and bond markets can make it possible for infrastructure bonds to be issued in local currencies and minimize potential currency mismatches. Improvements in the broader business environment can benefit from greater macroeconomic stability and stronger institutional frameworks. Policies that improve the quality of projects at entry, address currency risk, relax capital controls, and enable cost recovery pricing can unlock private sector participation in infrastructure financing. Strong government support, including ensuring regulatory quality, and providing well-targeted guarantees and subsidies, can play a critical role.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 2","pages":"465-474"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140597959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
