This research looks at why countries form Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) and how they impact global trade. There are different opinions on whether RTAs are good or bad for world trade. The study examines various theories and real-world examples to understand the pros and cons of RTAs. It finds that RTAs can be effective if they involve countries that create new trade opportunities and consider local interests. RTAs can help countries open up trade quickly and have a positive impact when done right. The research suggests that successful RTAs should focus on building partnerships that benefit all parties involved and should encourage broader international trade efforts.
