EC Regionalism at the Turn of the Millennium: Towards a New Paradigm?
18 Pages Posted: 29 Jan 2001

Abstract
The paper examines the development of regional trade agreements (RTAs) between the European Community (EC) and its partners during the past decade. It finds that EC regionalism has recently entered a new phase: regional trade agreements with countries outside Europe. As a result of parallel initiatives by the United States, the world trading system finds itself in virgin, and potentially dangerous, territory.
