Italian term or phrase: direttrice Ovest-Est

spheres


Explanation:
...stimulates strong competition between both East and West spheres and likewise the North-South spheres.

tradelines


Explanation:
I agree with Marcello and Gian, and I'm not sure that one can say "North-South tradelines", but I definitely think tradelines is what they are speaking of here
