The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is a significant institution that was created in 1947 to promote international trade by reducing trade barriers among the 23 member countries who originally signed the treaty. Its successor, the World Trade Organization, has grown in membership to 125 nations. This has reflected its success in facilitating multilateral tariff liberalization and its importance for the global economy. A theoretical interpretation of GATT and its main features is therefore attempted.

The world learned at least one lesson from the Great Depression. Despite today's economic gloom which has spread from the United States to Europe and now Asia, no major player has moved to introduce protectionist policies or impose capital controls on a large scale. That's a good thing, considering the trade war sparked by the infamous Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. This measure raised U.S. tariffs on 20,000 goods to record levels and triggered retaliatory tariffs by our trading partners. Countries also imposed nontariff barriers, like quotas, to keep imports out. The net result was that the Great Depression was prolonged and intensified as nations closed their borders, shrinking international trade by a third between 1929 and 1932.
