Because prosperity of the Asian and Pacific nations remains linked to their ability to trade, it is important to understand the forces that promote and hinder global and regional trade. The articles in this publication provide insights into the status of the negotiations in the main areas of the Doha Development Agenda and interlinkages between trade liberalization in those areas to business and economic development in Asia and the Pacific. It contains both qualitative and quantitative assessments of trade liberalization at multilateral regional/bilateral levels for poverty reduction and development. Special attention is given to harnessing the trade negotiation process to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals especially to the potential of the multilateral trade liberalization to fight poverty, prospects for consolidation of preferential trade agreements of the region, and the value of business advocacy and multistakeholder dialogues in promoting informed trade policy decision-making.
