Title: Australia's free trade agreements: The Thailand-Australia FTA
Abstract: The World Trade Organisation (WTO) formed in 1995 as a result of trade negotiations that occurred during the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The GATT, established in 1947 in the wake of the Second World War, was a multilateral agreement regulating international trade with the purpose of achieving a 'substantial reduction of tariffs and other trade barriers and the elimination of preferences, on a reciprocal and mutually advantageous basis' (WTO 1986, p. 1). The current and only round under the WTO, the Doha Round, commenced in 2001 and remains incomplete today, with negotiations for further trade liberalisation measures currently unresolved.
