The concept of trade negotiations evolved from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1948 to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995. GATT focused on reducing trade barriers, while the WTO provides a more comprehensive framework for trade, including dispute resolution and intellectual property rights.

The WTO provides a framework for trade negotiations by setting rules for trade and providing a forum for countries to resolve trade disputes. It aims to promote free and fair trade among its member countries.

Geopolitical factors can significantly influence trade negotiations. Countries might offer preferential trade terms to allies or impose trade restrictions on rivals. For example, trade sanctions might be used as a tool of foreign policy.

A bilateral trade agreement is between two countries, while a multilateral trade agreement involves many countries. Multilateral agreements, like those under the WTO, tend to be more complex but can have a wider impact on global trade.

Trade negotiations may not always be effective in addressing geopolitical tensions, especially when political differences are deep-seated. Trade can be used as a tool, but it may not resolve fundamental conflicts.

Geopolitics and trade negotiations are crucial for India's economy as they influence its access to markets, resources, and technology. India's trade policy is shaped by both economic and geopolitical considerations.
