The reduction in trade barriers which began in the wake of globalization in the past three decades has fostered growth in international trade and impacted all parts of the globe differently. The shift in the global economy from the developed markets to the developing markets is interesting and provides tremendous opportunities for countries, trading blocs, multinational organizations.
