    According to Irwin (1998), despite the impact of RTAA in changing the process of U.S. trade policy making, it actually had a relatively minor effect on the height of U.S. tariffs. And further explained that the United States experienced major swings in the average ad valorem tariff (tariff revenue as a share of dutiable imports) during this period-from 40 percent in 1929 to 59 percent in 1932 to 14 percent in 1948. In a bid to aid the resuscitation of the European Countries disrupted by the war, the US signed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. By that time, the significance of the RTAs had declined. The GATT was a trade setting based on multilateral trade…

    The ITO was initially envisaged, along with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, as one of the key pillars of post-World War II reconstruction and economic development. In Havana in 1948, the UN Conference on Trade and Employment concluded a draft charter for the ITO, known as the Havana Charter, which would have created extensive rules governing trade, investment, services, and business and employment practices. However, the United States failed to ratify the agreement. Meanwhile, an agreement to phase out the use of import quotas and to reduce tariffs on merchandise trade, negotiated by 23 countries in Geneva in 1947, came into force as the GATT on January 1, 1948.…
