"Governments influence the patterns of imports and exports by tariffs, quotas and other trade restrictions. Students should learn the reasons for these policies."
California History/Social Science Framework
ASSUMPTION
Globalization of the economy is often talked about today as inevitable, necessary and desirable. It is often assumed that trade benefits everyone, and the more the better. While increased trade among countries provides certain benefits to businesses and consumers, a wholesale acceptance of and optimism towards free trade should be questioned. The environmental and social costs of globalization should be considered when assessing the impact of expanded world trade.
DESCRIPTION
Trade has become an increasingly complex topic. Now that multinational corporations gather inputs, produce and sell in many countries, what constitutes an export and what constitutes an import are no longer simple concepts. Students will learn to think through these complexities to better understand core issues in international trade. Once students have gained a basic knowledge of global trade, they will assess what is imported into the United States, the role of the World Trade Organization and the idea of import substitution.
