About this Item

Mängelexemplar, wie ungelesen, Sofortversand im Luftpolsterumschlag ---A key challenge confronting the World Trade Organization (WTO) is to address perceptions that it is not supportive of development. Should the WTO be limited to increasing market access opportunities and negotiating away policies that impose negative spillovers on other countries? Or should the future of the WTO depend on expanding its coverage and changing its modus operandi to more directly address development issues? This book addresses these questions by analyzing the various issues that are on the negotiating agenda of the WTO's Doha round including agriculture, intellectual property, competition policy, services, market access, and special and differential treatment.

About this title

Synopsis

How can international trade agreements promote development and how can rules be designed to benefit poor countries? Can multilateral trade cooperation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) help developing countries create and strengthen institutions and regulatory regimes that will enhance the gains from trade and integration into the global economy? And should this even be done? These are questions that confront policy makers and citizens in both rich and poor countries, and they are the subject of Economic Development and Multilateral Trade Cooperation. This book analyzes how the trading system could be made more supportive of economic development, without eroding the core WTO functions.
