of Technical Terms

MTS Multilateral Trading System - a trading system which involves participation of many different parties with the aim of promoting cooperation in terms of trade and the making of trade policy, rules and regulations among members. The term

‘multilateral trading system’ is used in APEC Statements to indicate the World Trade Organization - WTO (previously known as GATT).

Multilateral Trade Agreement

A multilateral trade agreement involves three or more countries who wish to regulate trade between the nations without discrimination. They are usually intended to lower trade barriers between participating countries and, as a consequence, increase the degree of economic integration between the participants. Multilateral trade agreements are considered the most effective way of liberalizing trade in an interdependent global economy.

Multilateralism

According to American scientist John Ruggie, multilateralism is defined as “coordinated behavior among three or more states on the basis of generalized principles of conduct”. Multilateralism comprises three main criteria:

generalized principles of conduct, indivisibility and diffuse reciprocity (mutual concession). These principles are demonstrated in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and in the Most Favored Nation Treatment (MFN).
