内容简介:
This timely series seeks to provide objective information about the new trade agenda and to encourage an informed dialogue about the role of trade in development, particularly for the world's poorest countries. A key challenge confronting the WTO is to address perceptions that the organization and the disciplines it embodies are not supportive of development. This book addresses the question whether the WTO should he limited to increasing market access opportunities and negotiating away policies that impose negative spillovers on other countries, or whether the future of the WTO depends on expanding its coverage and changing the modus operandi of the Institution to more directly address development issues. It does so by analyzing the various issues that are on the negotiating agenda of the WTO's Doha round.
