To put these cut in trade barriers in perspective lets look at the Company Chrysler. Chrysler is introducing a right handed drive version of the Neon subcompact to the Japanese consumer. Chrysler plans to sell 4,000 units at Their 200 show rooms. They are hoping for even more success with the right Handed versions of the Voyager and Wrangler which they plan to introduce next Year. With Japanese subsidizes on exports which lead to a high price on Japanese domestic goods, Chrysler should be very competitive. Liberalism in trade, though progressive vary a lot with area. The European Union consisting of the countries of western Europe have established a Free trade zone between themselves but those areas outside the union deal with The same old trade barriers. Tariffs on sensitive goods still remain. Sensitive goods range from agriculture and raw materials to footwear and Furniture.
These practices may seem unfair but the union is beginning to open Up trade with Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean and hopefully they will take the APEX incentive to open thier market. If not we have policies that we can follow To force free trade. The United States is in a unique position in the world economy being the Largest consumer nation and also a major exporter. The U. S. can use the threat Of trade sanctions to open up closed markets and even change countries policies. An example of this is the U. S. threat to use trade sanctions towards China. China has a booming industry pirating U. S. films and music.
This industry cost The U. S. billions. The threat of trade sanctions forced China to crack down on These pirating industries. The world is moving towards the liberalization of international trade. Large economic communities are being formed to make trade more profitable for Everyone involved. The APEC initiative takes this even farther with plans to Incorporate the whole world into a free trade area, thus making the entire world More efficient and goods less costly.
