International trade negotiations in Doha and rise of regionalism (on the basis of Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food сase)

Abstract

This study explores the impact of the Doha Development Agenda and the rise of regionalism on international trade negotiations, with a specific focus on the agricultural sector in Ukraine. The paper examines the background and goals of the Doha Development Agenda and the reasons for its failure. The study also analyzes the emergence of regional trade agreements as an alternative to multilateral negotiations and their implications for Ukraine's agricultural exports. The paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of regionalism and its potential impact on Ukraine's agricultural sector, including the disruptions to supply chains and increased logistics costs resulting from military actions. The study concludes that while regional trade agreements may offer some benefits to Ukraine, they cannot replace the importance of multilateral negotiations in ensuring fair and equitable global trade. The paper also recommends policy actions to promote the development of Ukraine's agricultural sector, including increasing investment, improving infrastructure, and strengthening trade agreements.
