Governing the World Trade Organization: Past, Present and Beyond Doha World Trade Forum
Like many other international organisations, the World Trade Organization stands at a crossroads. There is an obvious imbalance between the organisation's dispute settlement arm and its negotiation platform. While its current rules, supported by strong dispute settlement system, have provided some buffering against the negative effects of the financial crises, its negotiation machinery has not produced any substantial outcomes since the late 1990s. It has become obvious that the old way of doing business does not work any more and fresh ideas about governing the organisation are needed. Based on rigorous scholarship, this volume of essays offers critical readings on the functioning of the system and provides policy-relevant ideas that go beyond incremental redesign but avoid the trap of romantic scenarios.
