Theory of international trade is merged with models of political economy in order to illustrate puzzling issues in a world of rapid trade integration: How can regionalism and multilaterism be compatible and welfare be improved in a world of expanding trading blocks? How can a sustainable mechanism of trade integration be designed in Central Europe? How can foreign direct investment affect volumes and direction of trade? The Political Economy of Trade Integration reveals answers and policy implications.
