Book excerpt: If ever there existed a benign-sounding organisation, it is surely the World Trade Organisation. The WTO is the successor to GATT. According to the WTO itself, its mission is "dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, the legal ground-rules for international commerce and for trade policy. The agreements have three main objectives: to help trade flow as freely as possible; to achieve further liberalisation gradually through negotiation; and to set up an impartial means of settling disputes". This book seeks to illuminate some key issues related to the WTO as well as present a detailed bibliography for future reference.

Book excerpt: Trade experts gathered at the European University Institute (EUI) to talk about the major challenges the World Trade Organization (WTO) is facing, more in particular in light of the upcoming Ministerial Conference in Bali (December 2013).

Book excerpt: The period preceding the creation of the WSF was marked by key events such as: the protests against the adoption of the Multilateral Agreement on Investments in 1998 and the mass demonstrations against the World Trade Organization at the 1999 Ministerial Conference in Seattle. [...] The presence of the American peace activist Cindy Sheehan also revealed the anti-Bush nature of the meeting.44 Opinion is divided on the outcome of the Forum. [...] This conference was organized on the occasion of the anniversary of the Bandung Conference.50 The general theme was "From the creation of a collective consciousness to the building of a collective actor." It was sponsored by various leftist intellectuals and organizations - some of the same people that had supported the Porto Alegre Manifesto in 2005.51 Between 500 and 1,000 people attended this o. [...] The gap between the concerns of the 'elite' of the movement and those of the 'base' was evident. [...] As a forum for debate, the World Social Forum is a movement of ideas that prompts reflection, and the transparent circulation of the results of that reflection, on the mechanisms and instruments of domination by capital, on means and actions to resist and overcome that domination, and on the alternatives proposed to solve the problems of exclusion and social inequality that the process of capitali.
Download or read book Recently Acceded Members of the World Trade Organization written by Kenji Takamiya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book sheds light on trade policies of developing economies that joined the multilateral trading system after establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, once known as the recently acceded members (RAMs). Its detailed case studies on Georgia, the People’s Republic of China, Viet Nam and Ecuador examine their engagement in accession and Doha Round negotiations and, where relevant, dispute settlement at the WTO. Using the economic theories of trade agreements and negotiations as a guide for intellectual inquiries, this book assesses motivations accounting for the RAMs’ evolving behaviors in the multilateral trading system. The first two chapters present background and overview, followed by four chapters on country-specific case studies. The book is concluded with the last chapter that provides one possible explanation of why the Doha Round has been faced with deadlocks while accession and dispute settlement have been working effectively.

This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Global Constitutionalism and the Path of International Law, Surendra Bhandari succinctly offers an account of the most important growth and features of international law from the perspectives of global constitutionalism. The author examines the concept from its constitutive features and the operative standards or modus operandi. These two aspects offer a new and innovative methodology in explicating the theory of ‘global constitutionalism’. By examining three cases: international trade (WTO), human rights, and the role of Security Council, the author demonstrates how the idea of global constitutionalism is shaping and deepening the path of international law in the 21st century and elucidates the development of international law as a body of positive rules.
