What Is GATT - General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade
   From About.com

       Definition: The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) provided global trade
rules as well as a framework for trade disputes from 1948 to 1994. It was one of three Bretton
Woods organizations developed after World War II. (The others were the International
Monetary Fund and the World Bank.)

The goal of GATT founders was to liberalize world trade, specifically by reducing protective
tariffs.

The first round of negotiations impacted one fifth of world trade; there were 23 founding
members. The eighth and last round -- the Uruguay Round of 1986-94 -- led to the creation of
the World Trade Organization (WTO) and a new set of trade agreements.

Corporations often argue for more open trade in order to have access to new markets. Labor
often argues for trade restrictions in order to protect domestic jobs. Because trade
agreements must be approved by governments, this tension sets up political conflict.
