Trade and Investment White Paper

Globalisation presents challenges and opportunities today and in the future. To better understand how the UK can benefit from global trading the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, Patricia Hewitt, has published a White Paper on Trade and Investment called, 'Making Globalisation a Force for Good'.

The White Paper deals with the question of how we can harness the power of globalisation, not only in the UK but in every country, especially in the developing world. It addresses the implications of globalisation nationally and internationally and sets out a vision of a world trading system which is fair as well as free.
