The programme of the workshop focused on three key areas where
understanding of PTAs needs to be improved. The first session examines
the economic and political motives behind the agreements. It examines in
particular the idea that recent agreements are driven by “global supply
chains” or production networks. Session two then discusses what is known
about the contents of these agreements. One presentation looks in
particular at services provisions in PTAs. In the third session,
academics and WTO Secretariat staff discuss the databases that are being
developed to more systematically analyze PTAs.
