hey i'm doing an assignment for my economic competitiveness and growth subject and was wondering if anyone's done anything similar or if anyone has some good articles or journals about the topic.
the assignment is about
Since World War II there have been many arrangements among different groups of nations ultimately creating various trading blocs. For example, the major regional trading blocs are the EU, NAFTA and ASEAN supporting trade among their members.
• From a theoretical point of view, discuss and analyse the reasons for the formation of trading blocs. Use examples, data and diagrams.
• Have previously formed trading blocs been successful and how can we measure any positive development? In economic terms what are the benefits and costs of trading blocs?
• Provide your own critical analysis of the likely economic impacts of a trading bloc on a national economy. For example, what are the consequences for the Australian economy due to the membership in ASEAN?
if anyone's done anything similar or has any articles on this topic that'd be great :)
