Importantly, it’s lack of trade barriers but all the rest of the mix, too. Ie if one part of a bilateral trade deal doesn’t honor IP rights of the other side there’s problems. Also linking countries with hugely different wage levels can be destabilizing to the more developed. Those factors probably could have been mitigated.
