The deep arrangement in question is of course the European Union, which all the countries in the region have now joined. One critical issue for countries elsewhere is whether the world contains other regional arrangements that are, or could become, sufficiently deep to play a similar role.' - John Williamson, Senior Fellow, Institute for International Economics, USA 'This book, edited by a leading international economist who almost uniquely combines a command of analytics and experience at the World Trade Organization, is the latest, and an important and original, contribution to the growing literature on why preferential trade agreements have downsides that the poiliticians purusing them relentlessly worldwide today have failed to appreciate.' - Jagdish Bhagwati, University Professor, Columbia University, USA and formerly Economic Policy Adviser to the Director General, GATT 'The novel contention argued in this book on the basis of Central European experience is that a 'deep' regional integration arrangement is more efficient than the WTO, let alone a shallow regional arrangement, in preventing a costly backsliding into protectionism.
