Since the mid-20th century, countries have progressively reduced barriers, subsidies to domestic industries and diverse restrictions on international commerce in order to promote specialization and greater efficiency in production. In theory, free trade allows nations to focus on their main comparative advantages and profit from cooperation and voluntary trade. This strategy is usually reinforced by treaties between two or more countries where commerce of goods and services can be handled across their common borders, without tariffs and other trade obstacles. As a key component of regional integration in the Americas, CAFTA-DR is one important example of this economic ideology.

Vietnam is now one of the world’s fastest growing economies despite it being one of the region’s poorest countries. It is one of the world’s top exporters of rice, coffee, cashew nuts, and black peper. Due to low cost of human labor and lower operating costs, Vietnam offers plenty of opportunities for international businesses. Hence, many western companies are expanding their business to the area. Textiles and garments are the backbone of the Vietnamese industry, and these sectors contribute greatly to the country’s industrial growth. Since joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2007, the government has strongly supported the textile and garment sectors by providing strong incentives to attract foreign investors (Nieuwoudt, 2009). It is undeniable that the government of Vietnam still has great improvements to make in order to advance in the global market. The country is still considered to be in the early stages of infrastructure development, resulting in a great barrier for the country. Ongoing reforms in the country are helping the economy of Vietnam; however, reform efforts are not efficient or transparent. Vietnam’s economy is driven primarily by tourism and exports as investment is hard due to the absence of transparency in the legal and regulatory system.

Over the course of time, there have been incorporations of multiple agreements all around the world between developing, industrialized countries and third world countries. These agreements are often depicted as a form of advancement and growth for all the parties that are involved. However, this is not always the case, as it is often common that one(some) of the parties becomes affected in a negative manner. While the other party(ies) finds ways to take advantage of the situation and profit from it. One clear example of this is the North American Free Trade Agreement which was implemented between Canada, Mexico and the United States, with the purpose of removing barriers to exchange goods and services to improve the economy. Though, the outcomes of this trade agreement have generally been the opposite of what its primary goal was. As well as the countries mentioned previously, Africa is stumbling upon a similar situation with the European Union. The EU, would like to implement the Economic Partnership Agreement in African countries. Although, the propositions offered by the EU in regards of the (EPA) seem to be valuable for Africa’s progression, it is more likely that the Economic Partnership Agreement will cause negative effects towards Africa’s economic, political and social position.

After China joined the World Trade Organization, it realized it was unable to accomplish its trade goals of recognition of a market economy status and preferential access to regional factors of production using traditional multilateral routes, for these goals are not in spirit with multilateral treaties and instead decided to achieve such goals with bilateral agreements (Mallon and Whalley 2004).

In this paper, the trade structure between Germany and Tanzania, and its impacts to the development of Tanzania has been analysed. The study identifies that Tanzania’s major export commodities to Germany include primary goods and few intermediate and manufactured goods, while it imports significant volumes of finished manufactured goods from Germany. By this structure of trade, Tanzania is perhaps locked to concentrate on production of natural and primary goods; this has a better outcome in the short term, but leads to several problems in the long-term which can future hinder its speed of development. In this case, Tanzania needs to establish strategies that can assist in improving production of manufactured goods so as to boost its benefits
