Avant-Propos
Le Rapport sur le commerce mondial 2005 est structuré de la même façon que les années précédentes et contient une analyse d’un certain nombre de questions de politique commerciale essentielles auxquelles est confronté le système commercial international. Son objectif fondamental est de contribuer à mieux faire comprendre les questions de politique commerciale auxquelles les gouvernements sont confrontés. Le thème central de ce rapport annuel est le lien entre les normes et le commerce international. De courts essais ont été préparés sur trois autres thèmes – l’utilisation de l’analyse économique quantitative dans le règlement des différends à l’OMC, le commerce international des services de transport aérien et les délocalisations de services.
Report by the WTO Secretariat
China enjoyed strong economic growth in 2010 and 2011, boosted by a ¥4 trillion fiscal stimulus package implemented in 2008-10. Growth was also helped by the recovery of world trade, but China’s exports recovered less rapidly than its imports and its merchandise trade surplus continued to fall, reaching 4.3% of GDP in 2010 from levels of 9% and above before 2008. Nominal GDP per capita increased in 2011 to the equivalent of US$5,400.

Introduction
The geographical fragmentation of production has created a new trade reality. Often referred to as global value chains or vertical specialization, this fragmentation deepens the interdependency of trade relations and has many implications for how we understand trade policy. This book sheds light on the nature of this interdependency, and the contribution of trade to national economies. It illustrates the conjunction of technical, institutional and political changes that led to the emergence of production and trade networks in East Asia, including their impact on trade patterns.
