Geo-Economic Pathways to Peace: Innovative Domestic Business Functions for Resilient Economies with Zero Tariff

Abstract

In the current global economic environment, rising tariff barriers and widening business gaps are creating significant inequalities between countries, reducing cooperation, and intensifying competition rather than shared progress. Against this backdrop, this research proposes a geo-economic strategy aimed at achieving the highest welfare point in international trade through a zero-tariff mechanism that avoids losses for any participating economy. The model establishes that an exporting economy may receive zero-tariff access only when it first preserves and supports the importer’s existing domestic manufacturing capacity. If the importer currently produces a certain volume of goods, the exporter must ensure that this same level is manufactured within the importer’s economy before supplying any additional volume from its own production. In addition, the exporter must provide direct assistance to the importer’s existing manufacturers to sustain their operations. The framework also allows multiple raw-pattern companies from the exporting economy to operate within the importer’s market, giving individuals a broader range of choices and enabling them to obtain the most affordable and efficient products. Furthermore, by hosting these collaborative activities and manufacturing extensions, the importer economy gains the opportunity to transform itself into a business hub, strengthening its internal capacity and attracting wider investment. Overall, this research presents a practical international zero-tariff model that reduces global economic gaps, protects domestic industries, expands consumer options, and builds a more stable and mutually beneficial geo-economic foundation.
