These conflicting values are inextricable from one another in a world that encourages, and quite frankly mandates, a high level of economic interdependency.

The Promotion Of Free-Trade Areas Viewed In Terms Of Most-Favored-Nation Treatment And "Imperial Preference", Sydney M. Cone Iii
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Article will first examine the relevant WTO provisions that permit free-trade agreements as exceptions to MFN treatment.
