The purpose of this paper is: (1) - to analyze dynamics in international outsourcing of IT services; (2) -to describe factors which enable creation of global market for offshoring; (3) - showing India's road to success as a leader in offshoring IT services; (4) - evaluating Poland's chances in offshoring services to global market. Global outsourcing in services is facilitated by technological innovation, and wide spread of ICT revolution. Poland as well as other countries with educated labor force in IT services and lower labor cost has comparative advantage in offshoring services. Poland should adopt necessary policies to become an attractive location for new service centers. As Indian experience shows, providing IT and business services for global markets, can bring many benefits to economic development. Business process outscourcing (BPO) and IT services became an important element of new wave of economic globalization. It is a new form of competition in global economy. Demand for outsourcing of services from companies in developed countries will grow. Many developing countries can now supply these services with much lower cost.

This paper examines dynamics of trade liberalization negotiations under WTO Doha Round between 2001-2006. It tries to answer the following questions: - why the negotiations are so difficult?, - what are the main controversies?, - what would be the consequences of Doha failure?, - are there any alternatives to WTO multilateral trade negotiations? The paper describes modification of TRIPS ( Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights), which permits poor countries to import cheaper generic drugs against AIDS and other issues. Finally it makes some evaluation of benefits from trade liberalization for different groups. Doha Round includes a very complex and ambitious agenda for new WTO trade negotiations. The main aim of Doha Round, known also as Doha Development Round, is to bring benefits to developing countries giving them a better access do developed countries' markets with their agricultural products. It requires deep and costly structural reforms in many developed countries. Most developed countries are interested in opening the markets of developing countries in services and investment. North and South differ very much on the priorities for this Round of negotiations. From the moment the developing countries insisted that their priority should be discussed before the other issues, the negotiations become much more complicated. There has been a little progress during 5 years of Doha Round negotiations. There are still disagreements about direction of trade liberalization, especially in agriculture.

Almost ten years ago a new concept of the economic integration of the American continent was presented. It had been planned that a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) for 34 countries would be established by the year 2005. This paper outlines the basic principles of FTAA as well as the course of events in the preceding negotiations. The authoress examines arguments of supporters and critics of FTAA. The analysis of ten years Mexican experience within the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), presented in the article, indicates that a new approach to the continental integration is necessary. This new approach should, in turn, recognize greater needs of poor countries in the course of integration process. The idea of FTAA still evokes many controversies, the prospects for the final agreement are not as certain as they seemed when the idea was conceived.
