Journal of World Trade Studies (JWTS) is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary, and open access journal that engages with issues surrounding global trade, covering its political-economic, legal, socio-cultural, as well as applied and technical aspects. JWTS provides an in-depth and thought-provoking analysis of the world trading system designed and exercised at multilateral, plurilateral, regional, and bilateral levels. JWTS particularly focuses on analysing regimes that regulate and sustain the world trading system and examining important developments in the global trade landscape. JWTS welcomes manuscripts from academics and practitioners who employ interdisciplinary perspectives and focus on areas that are currently neglected or under-researched. By presenting a rigorous analysis, JWTS seeks to foster knowledge on global trade and assist policy-makers and trade negotiators in producing evidence-based trade policies.

Abstract

Managing environmental standards as a form of environment-related trade barriers has become increasingly important for producing countries that are active participants in global commodity trading. Current international environmental standardization in trade, shows stronger tendency of convergence between sustainability criteria developed by the private sector and government regulations that apply in importing countries. Subsequently, such standards have overtime become guidelines for policy reforms in producing countries. To that end, the increasing role of private actors in pushing for higher environmental standards, has generated new dynamics in production-trade relations, which have overtime become increasingly complex. As a consequence, producing countries, now face multi-layered trade barriers before their products gain access to importing markets.

Abstract

There has been a shift in the destination of Indonesian palm oil exports from Europeanmarkets to India and China in recent years. This article aims to estimate the demand of these two countries for Indonesian palm oil exports. This article argues that price supporting policies play an important role behind the increase in the quantity of the demand for Indonesian palm oil exports. This article concludes that it is crucial to disaggregate palm oil data into crude palm oil data and refined palm oil products. This is because it can contribute significantly to improve the results of the price estimation and income elasticity of Indonesian palm oil export for both India and China.
