(Breuss)<\/a><br\/><br\/>Contents:<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Free trade agreements (FTAs) are concluded for a variety of reasons. On the one hand, because two or more countries decide to work more closely together in trade (free trade areas &#8211; such as EFTA; customs unions &#8211; such as the EEC) or want to deepen their cooperation even further, such as the EU with the creation of the single market and monetary union. On the other hand, the failure of multilateral agreements within the framework of the WTO (such as the pending conclusion of the Doha Round) is leading to more and more bilateral free trade agreements. As part of &#8220;Global Europe&#8221;, the EU has been pursuing a strategy since 2006 to conclude a new generation of trade agreements that are as comprehensive as possible. Examples of this are the FTA between the EU and South Korea (2011), CETA (EU-Canada) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) currently under negotiation. The seminar describes the history of FTAs in the global economy and reports on the effects of such agreements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-block stk-0119402 is-style-default\" data-block-id=\"0119402\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ed0194f stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ed0194f\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ed0194f-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ed0194f-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-9dccb99\" data-block-id=\"9dccb99\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-72724fe\" id=\"seminar-4-2015-open-markets-matter\" data-block-id=\"72724fe\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Seminar 4 (2015) Open Markets Matter<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-3f1072e\" data-block-id=\"3f1072e\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"linear-gradient-3f1072e\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-3-f-1072-e-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-3-f-1072-e-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-f3d9e43 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"f3d9e43\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-f3d9e43-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-f3d9e43-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-1f7a35c\" data-block-id=\"1f7a35c\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Speaker: Dr. Manfred Schekulin (BMWFW)<br\/>Date: June 26, 2015<br\/>Materials: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiw.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Vortrag-Open-Markets-Matter-VAB-2016_01_26_Praesentation-Endfassung.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Presentation<\/a><br\/><br\/>Contents:<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-cfa582c\" data-block-id=\"cfa582c\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">In this seminar, interactions between foreign trade and other policy areas will be discussed: i) How are trade policy and social policy related? ii) What role does trade policy play in foreign policy? iii) What role does it play in development cooperation? iii) What is behind the frequently expressed cultural and democratic concerns about market liberalization and the institutions that pursue it?<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign Trade and Investment Curriculum 2023\/24 B3 (2023) Importance of foreign economic activity for Austria Speaker: Mag. a Elisabeth Christen, PhD (Austrian Institute of Economic Research)&#13;
