Resumen
Descripción
The world economy is growing, with rising production and spectacular recent increases in international trade and investment (Maddison 2001; Khor 2000). The GATT/WTO process has paved the road for the globalisation of trade and market dynamics, including the trade in forest products and services. The process has resulted in decreased tariff barriers to trade which in return has increased the volume of trade in all major products. Forest products trade, however, has not been effected by major decr eases of tariff barriers, which are generally rather low, but rather by non-tariff barriers, driven by environmental and social concerns.
