CONFERENCE
Shri Ram College of Commerce (University of Delhi)
Conference on "Issues in International Trade during Globalisation Era" from 19th to 20th November, 2010, at
Shri Ram College of Commerce, University of Delhi.
Globalisation has led to very rapid integration of countries across the globe in terms of flows of commodities as well as finance.
The value of global exports first exceeded US$ 1 trillion in 1977 and by 2008 it reached more than US$ 16 trillion. The global
trade in merchandise, which included exports and imports, as percentage of global GDP surged from 18 percent in 1977 to
51 percent in 2008. Such dramatic rise has been observed after the enactment of the WTO rules, which stresses on various
types of tariff reduction measures, removal of quantitative restrictions on imports, and various fiscal and monetary policies
measures to promote the international trade. But, as expected it has given more edge to the developed countries who have
been major beneficiaries from such trade expansion. As per the WTO data for 2008, developed countries constituted 63 percent
of global exports while developing countries constituted 33 percent and rest is by least developed countries. In the light of
such facts Shri Ram College of Commerce is going to organise conference to invite high quality research papers which deal
with different dimensions of international trade particularly about the experience of developing countries with international trade.
Papers should be either theoretical or empirical in nature dealing with international trade or regional trade. Broad themes for
Papers are the following: (1) Theoretical debates on international trade, (2) Assessment of the dominant international trade
theories in the era of globalisation, (3) Trade related regulations and their impact on international trade, (4) Performance of
regional trade organisations, (5) Challenges of management of international trade in new macroeconomic environment,
(6) pattern of trade in goods and services, (7) International trade and economic development, (8) Financing of exports
and imports.
Selection of the received papers will be subject to the screening by selection committee. The authors of the selected papers
coming from Indian destination will be provided T.A. and free accommodation as per the UGC norms. Due to limited fund the
foreign authors of the selected papers will have to make arrangements on their own for their travel expenses, while the lodging
