Historic economic blocs include the Hanseatic League, a trading alliance in northern Europe in existence between the 13th and 17th centuries and the German Customs Union (Zollverein) initiated in 1834, formed on the basis of the German Confederation and subsequently German Empire from 1871. Surges of trade bloc formation were seen in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as in the 1990s after the collapse of Communism. By 1997, more than 50% of all world commerce was conducted within regional trade blocs.
Economist Jeffrey J. Scott of the Peterson Institute for International Economics notes that members of successful trade blocs usually share four common traits: similar levels of per capita GNP, geographic proximity, similar or compatible trading regimes, and political commitment to regional organization.
This video gives an overview of the types of trade agreements, or trade blocs.

The Russian leader highlighted the bloc's role in fostering trade, investment, and cooperation, which enhance economic growth and improve citizens' welfare across member states.
Mary Fitzgerald, a former foreign correspondent for the Europhile Irish Times, admitted that, yes, the EU had challenges — separatist blocs, economic stagnation, a looming trade war with America, and ...
... alliances and trade relations ... The bloc has been actively promoting the use of local currencies in trade among member states, aiming to challenge the dominance of the dollar in global transactions.
The old debate yields no new light on such central economic issues these days as the rise of the BRICS bloc in the world economy relative to the declines of an already smaller G7 bloc and the US dollar in world trade.
International trade offers a silver lining. Brazil’s economic fortunes are buoyed by its robust trade relations ... Additionally, the European Union recently signed a free-trade agreement with the Mercosur bloc, after 25 years of negotiations.
... bloc’s compliance market, works on a cap-and-trade principle, whereby firms in specific sectors receive emission allowances, the supply of which is capped at a level that reduces total CO2 emissions.
This October, Sanchez urged other members of the European Union to suspend the bloc’s free trade agreement with Israel over its military campaigns against Hamas in Gaza and the terrorist organization Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Initiatives like the AfricanContinentalFreeTradeArea (AfCFTA) offer(s) immense potential to boost intra-African trade and present the continent as a cohesive economic bloc.
‘’Once the full details of Trump’s tariff framework are known, it may well be the case that other nations and trading blocs, such as the EU, respond in a manner similar to China during the first trade war by imposing tariffs of their own.
With banking channels already well-established between the two countries, the minister highlighted the importance of expediting the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a FreeTrade Agreement (FTA) with the East African bloc.
There is already talk that the UK should choose between the US or EU, assuming that regional trade blocs emerge because of other countries’ retaliatory moves ... The EU as a bloc has its own trade policy and a similar-sized economy to that of the US.
The UK’s accession earlier this month to the Asia-Pacific trade bloc – the CPTPP – underscored the importance of strengthening international trade frameworks, and will connect us to a fast-growing ...
Trump’s victory revalidates nationalist politics everywhere, and his decision to use tariffs against any country that runs a huge trade surplus is affirmation of mercantilist policies.
A fractured mandate in elections to three of five municipal corporations in Punjab - Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Phagwara - has had Congress worried about the prospect of horse-trading by governing party AAP, its INDIA bloc ally.
