Title: 
  • A bilateral free trade agreement between China and Iceland
Published: 
  • October 2013
Abstract: 
  • A Free Trade agreement (FTA) between China and Iceland was finalized on the
    15th of April 2013. The paper discusses the negotiation process and the actual
    business activities in the respective countries, focusing on the FTA’s socio-
    economic significance. Our study is for the most part an empirical one, divided
    into two sections; an overview of the free trade negotiations, procedures and the
    topics covered along the issues and the actual activities on the firm level. From
    the outset in 2004–2005 and up until the negotiation process, the project has
    had strong political connotations and in many ways been geopolitically
    significant, but by the time it was finalized, it has turned out to be first and
    foremost a bilateral trade agreement between two nation states, creating new
    opportunities for firms in both countries, for example cooperating in in third
    countries.
