Problem: Review the World Trade Report 2012 from the WTO on trade and public policies (the executive summary is available for review as well) at the WTO Research and Analysis webpage. As you go through this resource, think about what the significance of both tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade are in today's economy, and how they have affected international trading.
Address these specific issues (approximately 2 pages) , where you will also explain the importance of national and international trade policies, and the role and effect of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on such measures (for example, how does the WTO regulations balance legitimate national policy goals versus protectionism?). Use at least one country and one policy as an example in your paper to support your answers.
