As the Doha Round of Trade Negociations is receding in our memories and governments keep spending more and more and finding more and more ways to adopt strange but effective trade barriers, the hopes for multilateral liberalization weakens. The common is that we cannot liberalize without other people liberalizing with us at the same time because others would exploit the breach to get a dominating share of the market.
But here is my question with the aforementionned logic, why is it that most trade liberalization in terms of importances has actually occured autonomously, meaning that trade barriers were brought unilaterally?
