This conference panel session focuses on issues relating to trade policy, the increasing globalization of markets, and the economic interdependence resulting from multinational business activities and worldwide and multimodal transportation systems. T. Yoshitani provides an overview. J. Browning focuses on international trade organizations and how they facilitate intermodal transportation, with primary emphasis on the World Trade Organization, what is taking place in the European Union and the European Commission, and what is happening in the Asia-Pacific region. C. Morton focuses on the relationship between trade policy per se--the actual negotiations--and how that interrelates to the development of intermodal networks and either stymies or facilitates the development of intermodal networks. R. Kopicki discusses international intermodal development and the role of the World Bank. J. Winter discusses the impact of trade globalization on regional economies, using as an example the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
