Geopolitcs of Economic Blocs

A trade bloc is a group of country agreeing on specific terms to stimulate international trading between countries that are part of the bloc.

We find that wikipedia does a pretty good job at defining, in simple terms, trade bloc and providing a good geographical representation of existing trade bloc and their boundaries.

It is very important to know and understand, for anyone wishing to do business internationally and create strategic alliances, the terms of the agreement impacting their trade effort.

We find the Wikipedia a good reference if you are looking for a starting point. Avoid bad surprises and contact TapionExIm’s expert to get advise on your trade endeavor. Better be safe than sorry!
