<p>After 7 years of joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Vietnam, the businesses of Vietnam now have been integrating into the world economy increasingly deeper, not only having opportunities but also facing challenges. The benefits are very significant but the impact and adverse effect of the global economic crisis on the businesses of Vietnam is not small. During the integration process as above, M&amp;A activity is a tool to attract resource and expand business scale. In the economic recession, M&amp;A activity is an effective way to help the businesses of Vietnam get out of the recession and recover development. This article introduces the problems of the core of M&amp;A activity and also analyzes the results obtained in M&amp;A activity in Vietnam over the years and the impact of M&amp;A on the economy of Vietnam. On this basis, the author provides some basic solutions in M&amp;A activity in Vietnam. </p>

Developments in the Asian economies have clearly begun to be felt in the wider global economy in recent months. It has always been expected that the OECD economies would be affected by the aftermath of the capital market turmoil last year, although the timing and magnitude of the impact was difficult to predict. Domestic demand in the affected Asian economies has proved much weaker than expected, with the effects magnified by a continued downturn in Japan. GDP fell by 5¾ per cent in Korea in the first quarter of this year and by 1¼ per cent in Japan. The aggregate volume of merchandise imports in Asia is expected to decline by around 5½ per cent this year, with falls of up to 25 per cent in countries such as Korea, Thailand and Indonesia. This largely accounts for our projected decline in world trade growth to under 6 per cent this year from an estimated 9¾ per cent in 1997.

AbstractAn international court’s ruling is expected to influence public opinion because of the perception of its legality and the subsequent costs of noncompliance. However, there has been little direct empirical evidence to support this claim. To close this lacuna, I conducted a survey experiment to examine the power of a court’s ruling in the context of a trade dispute. The experiment shows that citizens become less supportive of their government’s noncompliance with GATT/WTO agreements when the World Trade Organization issues an adverse ruling, compared to when their government is verbally accused of a violation of the same agreements by a foreign country. However, the experiment also finds that the impact of a ruling is conditional upon the level of compliance of the winner of the dispute.

Globalization, as evidenced in increased trade, economic development, and the emergence of new global powers, has meant that the world economy has undergone significant changes over the past two decades. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is more than a potent representation of these developments, it is often seen, along with its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), as having enabled the process of globalization. However, there are profound concerns about what lies ahead in an increasingly complex economic and regulatory setting, in particular for developing countries (DCs).

International tourism is influenced by both small and big ‘P’ politics. Political factors influence who can visit a country and who is not welcome. As Artal-Tur et al. (2015) note, the impact of diplomatic relations on tourism flows is immense. Political relationships influence international air service agreements and through the General Agreement of Trade in Services, controlled by the World Trade Organization (WTO), influence the internationalization of tourism in all areas. To understand international tourism, then, you need a general understanding of the international trade dimensions that guide it and the politics behind some of them.

SummaryThis article explores the impact of the WTO on Canadian cultural sovereignty. More specifically, it provides an assessment of the recent WTO decision in Canada — Certain Measures Concerning Periodicals in an effort to demonstrate that the multilateral trade framework is not only incompatible with, but in fact threatens, the continued viability of a distinct Canadian culture.
