Using the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model of world trade and economic activity, this title analyzes the expected trade and other economic impacts of the prospective Free Trade Agreement. It examines bilateral trade and investment flows, bilateral trade frictions, and implications of the prospective accords.

Would a free trade agreement (FTA) between the nations of the Middle East and the United States be beneficial to both sides? Robert Lawrence provides an analysis that incorporates both economic and political considerations. He documents the scope for enhancing the trade linkages, domestic governance and regional trade of Arab countries. He evaluates the US strategy in negotiating bilateral agreements and reviews in considerable detail the specific agreements that have been negotiated so far and the challenges still to meet if a single overarching arrangement is to be implemented. Lawrence also compares the US approach with the parallel initiative being undertaken by the European Union.

Robert Z. Lawrence was a senior fellow and also the Albert L. Williams Professor of Trade and Investment at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He served a s amember of PResident Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers from 1999 to 2000. He hes the New Century Chair as a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution between 1997 and 1998.
