Laboratory
“EU Cooperation Projects for Cooperatives in
Development” (3 CFU)
The Laboratory is specifically aimed at providing to the future practitioners of the
international development cooperation the competences needed for using the
cooperative business model in international development interventions, with
particular reference to the projects funded by the financial instruments of the
European Union. This will allow to understand how the different EU policies (in
particular Trade and Development ones) can be coherently turned into concrete
actions supporting the inclusive business in DCs.
Thanks to a specific agreement between La Sapienza and Legacoop (Italian
association among cooperative enterprises) the Laboratory will be carried out by
practitioners of the sector.
When & Where: every Tuesday in the Aula Portico, Via Salaria 113, starting from
Tuesday 10th March.
Contacts: Francesca Ottolenghi [email protected]

Aims
Knowledge: to acquire knowledge on international economic policy, with a
focus on trade, economic performance, and living conditions in developing
countries.
Debates: to understand contemporary debates in development (e.g., trade
and poverty, trade and vulnerability, trade and GVCs; aid effectiveness,
etc.), the theoretical underpinnings of the different positions, and their
policy implications.
Tools: to be equipped with the tools necessary to practice as a working
economist, especially as they apply to the problems of low-income countries.
Data: to be able to collect and interpret data on developing countries.
Presentations: to be able to present arguments and information on the topic
in both written and verbal form.

Contents
The course is articulated in three different modules:
The first module (24h) is devoted to the basic notions of the most important
theoretical and technical background about trade policy.
The second module (24h) introduces the students to the EU trade policy for
development, such as: its evolution over time; multilateral negotiations; preferential
vs non preferential agreements; regional and intra-regional development agreements;
the Economic Partnership Agreeements; the Euro-Med free trade area; the European
Neighborhood Policy; the Everything but arms initiative, the EU Policy Coherence
for Development, etc..
The third module (24h) focuses on some selected challenges for the EU Trade and
development agenda, such as the new patterns of vertical integration and global
value chains; firms’ heterogeneity; the global imbalances and the role of emerging
economies; the preference erosion of developing countries; the stalemate of
multilateral and bilateral negotiations; climate change, poverty traps and
vulnerability to trade openness; trade policy and food and nutrition security;
inclusive growth and social innovation, etc..

Master’s Dissertation
To foster additional research on the subject of the EU trade and development
agenda, REUTRADE strongly encourages students to carry out Master’s
dissertations on the topic and will provide mentoring and assistance.
Taking advantage of the existing MoU with FAO at
least one of the Master dissertation each year will be
dedicated to the topic of the relationship between trade
and food and nutrition security.
Taking advantage of the Erasmus+ agreement with the
UK Trade Policy Observatory at University of Sussex
(UK) at least one of the Master dissertation each year
will be dedicated to the topic of the consequences of
Brexit for EU trade policy.
Each of these dissertations will benefit for additional mentoring and co-supervision activities by one
member of FAO and/or UKTPO. This will enhance the quality of the research thanks to the concrete
interaction with scholars actively involved in carrying out policies and related research activities on
these topics.

The amount of
trade is illustrated
by the width of the
lines
Main trends:
1. the leading role of Europe in world trade (31%); possible
reasons?
2. the large amount of trade flows at regional level (within
Europe, within the Americas (11%) and between Asian
countries);
3. a relevant trade link between the United States and Europe
(about 37%); why?
4. the important share of world trade coming from Asia; why?
5. the marginal position of Africa (that accounts for only 2.5%
of World trade), and its close relationship with European
countries.

1860: a key date for International Trade
• Signature of the Cobden-Chevalier Treaty by France and UK
• Thanks to the MFN clause the CC Treaty determined a decisive shift toward a
«trade network» (i.e., about 50 PTAs)
P. Montalbano - Sapienza Università di Roma
The Treaty was announced by Napoleon III in a
letter published by Le Moniteur, on January 5.

Barriers to trade
All factors that influence (restrict) the amount of goods
and services shippped across international borders
Main barriers are:
• Tariffs: A tax on a good coming into a country
• Quotas: Physical restriction on the number of goods
coming into a country
• Non-Tariff Barriers: Any methods not covered by a tariff,
most usually (ex: standards on fuel emissions from cars;
documentation required to sell drugs in different countries,
ingredients in products ; etc)• Rules
• Regulations
• Voluntary Export Restraints (VERs)
• Legislation
• Exacting Standards or Specifications

The evolution of international trade:
let’s wrap up International trade has grown tremendously in the last 30 years, much
faster than global output
• World merchandise and commercial services trade have increased by
about 7 per cent per year on average
New players have risen to prominence in world trade, most notably large
developing countries and rapidly industrializing Asian economies
The composition of trade has changed (i.e. the product breakdown of
merchandise trade and the relative importance of commercial services
trade)
Countries have become less specialized over time in terms of their exports
and therefore more similar in terms of their export composition.
Trade has tended to become more regionalized since 1990, particularly in
Asia, but intra-regional trade shares in Europe and North America have
remained steady or declined.
P. Montalbano - Sapienza Università di Roma
Countries trade also in similar goods
Trade is not only between producers and final consumers:
• Intra-firm trade (30%), intermediate products (35%), final products
(35%), according to WTO’s estimates
Countries do not trade, firms do. But very few of them do it.
