Abstract (Translated):

It aims at identifying the main trends in selected agreements signed by the United States, the European Union, China and India, in contrast to ongoing processes of negotiation at the World Trade Organization, as well as to the Brazilian foreign trade policy towards the enlargement of the trade and trade related regulation by international agreements.
