This publication brings together papers prepared for the “Regional Agricultural Trade Liberalization” project, which was implemented by the Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade (ARTNeT) researchers between May 2005 and December 2006. The project explored the potential for agricultural trade opportunities at the regional level through preferential trade agreements (PTAs), at a time when the number of PTAs globally and in the ESCAP region has been increasing sharply. This book includes nine chapters, most of which are based on empirical research. They contain both quantitative and qualitative analyses of liberalization efforts in the area of agricultural trade, which took place in parallel to negotiations on agricultural trade liberalization in the context of the Doha Development Agenda. The PTAs analysed in the book are from three subregions: South Asia, East Asia and South-East Asia. Therefore, this volume fills the void that currently exists in quantitative analysis of preferential agricultural trade liberalization in the Asian economies.
