Risk Management in Regulatory Frameworks
Recent years have been marked by many catastrophic events both natural and man-made. Close interconnections mean that the impact of these crises has been felt throughout the world. Although many tools have been developed to manage risks successfully, there can be no doubt that many of the losses we have recently witnessed could have been prevented, or minimised, in the context of an effective and well-balanced regulatory system. The goal of this publication is to provide insights and recommendations for policymakers on designing regulatory systems that result in an efficient, effective and transparent management of risks. This is a practical book. It introduces a holistic model of a regulatory system, function by function and with real-life examples, which is based on the objective of managing risks effectively.
Governing Disasters

Free Trade Between South Africa and the European Union
Abstract: This study summarizes the findings of the technical assistance provided jointly by UNCTAD and the Trade and Industrial Policy Secretariat (TIPS) to the Department of Trade and Industry of South Africa during its negotiations with the European Union for a Free Trade Area (FTA) Agreement. The technical assistance programme involved preparing and keeping up to date a complete data set of South African-European Union trade and tariffs as well as the negotiating proposals in digital format at the tariff line level. This effort was completed by the customization of the SMART (Software on Market Analysis and Restrictions on Trade) simulation model for the specific purpose of the negotiations. This allowed for the simulation of the impact of the proposed FTA Agreement on bilateral trade flows as well as on trade with other commercial partners.
