Resumo(s)
Agricultural and agri-food trade protection (tariffs, subsidies, and other forms
of protection such as non-tariff barriers) constitute one of the most disputed grounds of
international trade relations. They are particularly important in WTO discussions and are
increasingly recognized as having paramount importance for the future of the economic
development of poor countries (2005 Human Development Report) and for the future
of rural communities of the developed world, particularly for those highly dependent on
agriculture and agri-food production. Given its importance one could expect that all those
interested in the debate share the same understanding of what are the stakes, even if their
perceptions of the outcome are not the same. Under these circumstances, it sees important
to clarify the meanings of the enormous panoply of forms of trade protection and look
at the most relevant visions about this matter. The aim of this text is then to contribute to
this clarification according with a political economy perspective. It must be stressed that
this reflection does not have the pretension to achieve a fully comprehensive approach,
but only to focus on the most relevant points of discussion. Therefore, it will focus on understanding
the rationale of the agriculture and agri-food protection policies that directly
or indirectly constitute a form of trade protection. The clear understanding of this rationale
constitutes the necessary condition not only to develop a political economy framework,
but also to understand the difficulties of the liberalization agenda of the WTO that is one
of the most relevant features of the globalization process and of its ups and downs since
the Seattle failure in 1999.
