Full text linkDans le cadre des Accords sur les mesures sanitaires et phytosanitaires (SPS) et sur les obstacles techniques au commerce (OTC), l'Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) autorise les pays membres à adopter des mesures destinées à protéger la santé humaine, animale et végétale ainsi que l'environnement, la faune et la flore et la sécurité humaine. Ces mesures constituent des barrières non tarifaires susceptibles de jouer un rôle important dans le déroulement des négociations commerciales internationales ; les pays en développement protestent, en effet, régulièrement contre leur utilisation par les pays développés à des fins protectionnistes. L'analyse statistique de l'impact des mesures SPS et OTC sur les échanges agricoles indique qu'elles peuvent avoir un impact négatif significatif sur les importations des pays de l'OCDE, même si elles se traduisent par ailleurs par une normalisation et une certification qui facilitent les échanges. Les estimations par groupe de pays exportateurs montrent en fait que les échanges entre pays développés ne sont pas affectés de manière significative par les réglementations techniques, sanitaires et phytosanitaires, mais que celles-ci constituent un obstacle important aux exportations des pays en développement vers les pays développés
Reforming EU trade policies towards more coherence with food security objectives requires careful design as EU trade preferences do matter
Full text linkAgricultural trade is a key determinant in global food security (Figure 1), but international cooperation is necessary for trade to help coping with supply shocks, to spread variations in crop yield and to dampen price volatility on global commodity markets. If regional and bilateral negotiations expand at the expense of a multilateral agreement, there is a risk of fragmentation of the trading system
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
