Australia and the US: the economics and politics of free trade agreements
What motivates the Australian Government’s current interest in a discriminatory
bilateral trade agreement with the United States? Who stands to benefit
and who stands to lose?
Jane Drake-Brockman from the Australian National University, Ann Capling
from the University of Melbourne, and Alan Oxley from the APEC Study Centre
at Monash University, will develop and answer these questions at a public
seminar at the ANU today.
Ms Drake-Brockman, a visiting fellow at the Asia Pacific School of Economics
and Management, said the seminar will focus on how a bilateral agreement
with the United States might fit with Australia’s commitment to the
multilateral trading system and its negotiating imperatives and priorities
for the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations in the WTO.
“We will be examining Australia’s prospects for a positive negotiating
outcome with the US while also looking at the consequences of failure,”
she said.
When: 1.00pm to 2.30pm, Monday 11 March 2002
Where: GPPP Lecture Theatre, Sir Roland Wilson Building, ANU
