The protectionist juggernaut threatening world trade

From VoxEU.org comes this audio in which Simon Evenett of the University of St Gallen talks to Romesh Vaitilingam about ‘Broken Promises’, the latest report from Global Trade Alert, which collates information on state measures taken since last November that discriminate against foreign commercial interests, and reveals how the G20 countries have broken their 'no protectionism' pledge.

Is anyone in the world actually surprised that the G20 countries have broken their 'no protectionism' pledge?
