Abstract

La discriminazione geografica è una caratteristica diffusa nell’ambito del copimercio internazionale, malgrado il generale riconoscimento dei suoi costi economici e la posizione d.ei GATT contraria alla discriminazione. La proporzione di scambi commerciali relativi alle principali economie di mercato effettuati in base alla clausola della « nazione più favorita » risulta inferiore alla metà del totale. Sono presentati quattro ordini di motivazioni per spiegare tale deviazione generale dal principio di non discriminazione. Nella pratica i casi più rilevanti si verificano là dove le nazioni (o i gruppi di potere all’interno di queste nazioni) coinvolte ottengono benefici nonostante le complessive perdite potenziali di benessere. Si auspica una politica volta ad un rafforzamento della posizione del GATT favorevole a una limitazione di tale comportamento nell’interesse generale.
