Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

There are some economists, most notably Bhagwati, who would agree with this statement. They oppose regionalism because of the trade diversion it causes and because, they argue, regional agreements distract countries from the multilateral process. Others, including Krugman, argue that regionalism is a natural process, owing to regional cultural similarities and the economics of transportation costs. These agreements do not divert much trade, they contend, because trade tends to be regional anyway and because external barriers are low. Moreover, success in negotiating regional agreements may spur on multilateral talks.
