About this title

Synopsis

Acceding to the World Trade Organization (WTO) entails enormous challenges for developing countries - in particular, the least-developed countries. The challenges include the effects of market opening and international competition on the local economy, as well as fundamental aspects of law and regulatory reform. This book addresses these challenges, from the perspective of Ethiopia, which has been negotiating its accession to the WTO since 2003. The topics addressed include the effects of WTO law on agriculture, intellectual property rights, financial market regulation, as well as regional integration in Africa. The book will appeal to all who are interested in the impact of world trade law on developing countries. (Series: Studies in International Economic Law Vol. 3)
