Background
Preeg, Ernest Henry was born on July 5, 1934 in Englewood, New Jersey, United States. Son of Ernest W. and Claudia T. Preeg.
(U.S. bilateral trade with China in “advanced technology p...)
U.S. bilateral trade with China in “advanced technology products” has shifted from balanced trade in 1998 to a U.S. deficit of $36 billion in 2004. One major explanation for this deterioration lies in an understanding of the growth of China as an advanced technology competitor. This new book presents a detailed, current assessment of the rapid development of Chinese advanced technology investment, production, and trade. Chinese research and development (R&D) growth of more than 20 percent per year and a tripling of university graduates since 1995 are the key domestic resource commitments, while foreign direct investment has been the “decisive catalyst” for a doubling of Chinese global exports from 2001 to 2004. The book outlines a constructive and comprehensive U.S. policy response needed to maintain long-standing U.S. leadership in advanced technology innovation, production, and exports. Recommendations are offered in the fields of international finance, most importantly with respect to Chinese “currency manipulation”; international trade and investment, principally to achieve Chinese compliance with World Trade Organization obligations and an Asia-Pacific free trade agreement; and domestic economic policy in a number of specific areas, including education, public sector R&D, tax policy, and tort reform.

( In his new book, Ernest Preeg analyzes international tr...)
In his new book, Ernest Preeg analyzes international trade and investment in the 1990s and lays out a comprehensive U.S. trade strategy for the uncertain period ahead. He examines the influence of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and argues that economic globalization is beneficial to the U.S. economy in the short- to medium-term while raising important questions about national sovereignty and security over the longer term. Preeg believes regional free trade agreements will soon encompass the majority of world trade, but they can conflict with the WTO's multilateral objectives. The central challenge for U.S. trade strategy, then, is to integrate the now largely separate multilateral and regional tracks of the world trading system. The first essay assesses U.S. interests in economic globalization, the second examines recent steps toward free trade at the multilateral and regional levels, and the next three offer an in-depth critique of U.S. regional free trade objectives in the Americas, across the Pacific, and possibly with Europe. The final essay presents a multilateral/regional synthesis for going from here to free trade over the coming decade.

( The recently concluded Uruguay Round of the General Agr...)
The recently concluded Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) will undoubtedly lead to a fundamental transformation of the world trading system as an instrument of a global economy. In Traders in a Brave New World, Ernest H. Preeg, a distinguished former U.S. diplomat and trade negotiator, presents a blow-by-blow account of the Uruguay Round, an examination of the historical context in which it took place, and an insider's assessment of the agreement's future impact on the international trading system. Preeg places the Uruguay Round in the broader context of global politics and economics, showing how changes in the world order—from the collapse of communism to dramatic economic reforms in developing countries—influenced both the topics of negotiations and their outcome. He then assesses the final GATT agreement as a case study in international negotiations and evaluates its probable effects on income and trade. Finally, Preeg looks to the short- and long-term issues confronting future trade-policy negotiators. He shows that the international trade agenda will consist of three evolving types of agreement—further multilateral commitments, regional free-trade agreements, and selective bilateral accords. Going to the heart of current debates on the "new world order," an important final chapter evaluates the political and economic relationships that will result from the international trading system.

(The United States has been almost alone in using unilater...)
The United States has been almost alone in using unilateral economic sanctions as a foreign policy instrument, despite inherent problems. This volume is the first full-length study devoted solely to unilateral sanctions, particularly as they have been used in the changed international economic realities of the 1990's. Ernest Preeg centers his investigation on five in-depth country case studies-of China , Cuba, Iran, Myanmar (formerly Burma), and Vietnam--to see whether they achieve their intended objectives and at what cost to other U.S. interests. Each case study includes an assessment of the economic impact on the target country, the related adverse consequences for U.S. commercial interests, and a detailed account of the U.S. policy process for adopting and implementing the sanctions. The author's work is part of a broader CSIS project on unilateral economic sanctions steered by a distinguished committee cochaired by four members of Congress.

(From Here to Free Trade in Manufactures: Why and How prov...)
From Here to Free Trade in Manufactures: Why and How provides a detailed analysis and strong endorsement of a multilateral free trade agreement for the manufacturing sector as a centerpiece of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha negotiations, along the lines proposed by the United States. The author's conclusion is that such an agreement is economically feasible if major participants muster the political will to promote it. The agreement would consolidate the proliferating network of bilateral and regional free trade agreements within a multilateral framework and reap an estimated $2 trillion per year increase in global GDP. These unprecedented gains from trade derive from the manufacturing sector as the "engine for growth" for the U.S. and global economies. This engine is driven by a broadly based surge in applied new technologies and the rapid growth in manufactures trade and related foreign direct investment with embedded new technologies.

During the 1980s the structure of world trade and investment underwent fundamental changes. The author examines those changes and recommends a three-convergent-track trade strategy of mutually reinforcing objectives at the multilateral, regional and bilateral levels in the next five to ten years.

( "A well-integrated volume which analyzes major trade p...)
"A well-integrated volume which analyzes major trade problems and sets forth concrete, reasonable proposals for dealing with them." --Foreign Affairs North-South trade relations are deeply troubled. U.S. exports to developing countries declined by $19.2 billion for 1980-83, at the cost of some 1.1 million jobs in the U.S. export sector. Many developing countries, meanwhile, face financial crises that can only be resolved over the long run through resumed expansion of trade. In this volume, distinguished practitioners and academics identify specific policy objectives for the United States on issues that will be prominent in the proposed new round of GATT negotiations: adjustment of U.S. firms and workers to imports from developing countries, including sensitive sectors such as textile and steel; transition or "graduation" of the newly industrialized countries of East Asia and Latin America to a more reciprocal basis of access to markets; special benefits for the poorest or least developed countries; and preferential trading arrangements.
