This sounds just like many other trade agreements we already have, such as WTO, NAFTA, APEC, and ASEAN.

Introduction In an increasingly globalised world, where international trade is constantly growing, the creation of free trade areas and the facilitation of trade are more and more at the centre of debate. It is generally believed that trade is beneficial as it allows countries to use their comparative advantage on specific products, leading to lower prices and greater choice for consumers; however, trade is often hindered by trade barriers such as tariffs and waiting times among others (OECD, 2005)
Trading Blocs Nowadays, the world is increasingly divided into trade blocs. Two types of trading blocs are recognized by the WTO : the free trade areas, where member states have removed all tariff barriers between them but where each member states can set its own tariffs on imports from non member countries ( EFTA, NAFTA, ASEAN, APEC) and the customs union, where countries agree on common tariffs from non members and remove all trade barriers between them ( like the EU, the Southern Common Market

World Peace through Codependency? I’m writing my second paper on how “free trade” (not just trade) can lead to world peace. This is a pretty hefty goal to put on free trade’s shoulders but it is only an ideal. It’s what freer trade tends toward.
