International trade is integral to the process of globalisation. Over many years, governments in most countries have increasingly opened their economies to international trade, whether through the multilateral trading system, increased regional cooperation or as part of domestic reform programmes. Trade and globalisation more generally have brought enormous benefits to many countries and citizens. Trade has allowed nations to benefit from specialisation and economies to produce at a more efficient scale. It has raised productivity, supported the spread of knowledge and new technologies, and enriched the range of choices available to consumers. But deeper integration into the world economy has not always proved popular, nor have the benefits of trade and globalisation necessarily reached all sections of society. The purpose of this year's core topic is to review the gains from international trade and the challenges arising from higher levels of integration. The Report explores a range of interlinking questions, starting with a consideration of what constitutes globalisation, what drives it, the benefits it brings, the challenges it poses and what role trade plays in this world of ever-growing interdependency. It asks why some countries have managed to take advantage of falling trade costs and greater policy-driven trading opportunities while others have remained largely outside international commercial relations. It also consider who the winners and losers are from trade in society and what complementary action policy-makers need to take in order to secure the benefits of trade for society at large.
