Explain how global economic policies work

This downloadable Global Economy PDF connects policy decisions to their economic consequences through structured causal chains. It covers protectionist policies—tariffs, quotas, export subsidies and production subsidies—alongside export promotion, import substitution and policies designed to help economies develop.

Use it on screen or print it for policy lessons, paired explanation, essay planning and revision. Students trace each link from policy to outcome, consider effects on different stakeholders, and evaluate the conditions that influence policy effectiveness.

Trade and development policy in one PDF
