Answer 22

Im reading this article, i think your answer is on the first and second page. It might take me a moment to get the answer though, but feel free to View the article too if you want.

Answer 23

It is sometimes also referred
to as a ‘natural’ trade bloc to underline that the preferential trade is between countries
that have presumably low transport costs or trade intensively with one another. The two
principal characteristics of a trade bloc are that: (1) it implies a reduction or elimination
of barriers to trade, and (2) this trade liberalisation is discriminatory, in the sense that it
applies only to the member countries of the trade bloc, outside countries being
discriminated against in their trade relations with trade bloc members. Though few, there
exist as well regionial integration agreements in which co-operation rather than
preferential market access is emphasised. Trade blocs can also entail deeper forms of
integration, for instance of international competition, investment, labour and capital
markets (including movements of factors of production), monetary policy, etc.

Answer 24

Just let me know when you think you have it!!

Answer 25

ok. will do.

Answer 26

I believe its C. Feel free to read over the excerpt above for evidence or to reassure.

Answer 27

What is the primary purpose of a trading bloc?

to foster political and social unity

to lower manufacturing costs

to reduce or eliminate tariffs

to create free market economies

Any ideas for this one??? Thank you so much for your help to this point!

Answer 28

@bookworm00981

Answer 29

Hmmm....1.Definition and examples
A trade bloc can be defined as a ‘preferential trade agreement’ (PTA) between a subset
of countries, designed to significantly reduce or remove trade barriers within member
countries. When a trade bloc comprises neighbouring or geographically close countries, it
is referred to as a ‘regional trade (or integration) agreement’.

Answer 30

Again most likely answer based on evidence would be C.

Answer 31

Not absolutely sure but I'm 88% sure about this.

Answer 32

Thank you!!
Last one!!

Answer 33

@bookworm00981

Answer 34

Oh wow, this ones a toughie. Give me a sec.

Answer 35

The answer will probably be either A or C.

Answer 36

Let me narrow it down more though.

Answer 37

The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union of 27 member states that are located primarily in Europe.

Answer 38

See it involves both factors, but it is mainly political so I'd go with A. Again I'm 78% sure. It could possibly be C, but its a small chance.

Answer 39

So A, is the answer.
