Chapter 34: Globalization and Protectionism
Introduction
International trade refers to the exchange of commodities and services across national borders. Foreign trade increases productivity by allowing firms and people to capitalize on their comparative advantages. Those who are more productive at work are more attractive. As a result, demand for workers is higher, leading to salary rises in the labor market. As a result, global commerce raises the country’s average wage level.
Protectionism relates to an administration ‘s stance of limiting trade agreements for a variety of reasons.
Import quotas are a type of numerical barrier to trade in which the administration limits the amount of an item that may be imported in order to protect home manufacturers from global competitors.
The World Commerce Organization (WTO) is a 164-nation international organization that works as a watchdog for global trade between its members.
The hazardous customer goods issue occurs when a government prohibits imports depending on customer security norms.
