Abstract (De)
From an economic perspective this paper critically assesses whether the negotiation of mega-regional RTAs calls for a reassessment of our understanding of the tensions and complementarities between RTAs and the multilateral trading system. The assessment confronts idealized conceptions of the latter with the reality of multilateral rulemaking in the postwar era.
