This paper examines the expanding network of bilateral free trade agreements and its consequences. The author argues that while it is rational for countries to pursue such agreements, they should work in parallel for multilateral trade liberalization in order to reduce their discriminatory impact. The paper concludes that this is neccessary in order not to marginalize the World Trade Organization (WTO) and developing countries.
