World Trade Report 2018

The Future of World Trade: How Digital Technologies are Transforming Global Commerce Trade has always been shaped by technology but the rapid development of digital technologies in recent times has the potential to transform international trade profoundly in the years to come. Computing, automation and data analytics are coming together in entirely new ways that deeply impact what we trade, how we trade and who is trading. What will be the consequences of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;new digital revolutionâ&#x20AC;? on the world economy, and in particular on international trade? The Report provides an analysis of the changes at play and estimates the extent to which global trade may be affected over the next 15 years.

The World Trade Report 2018 examines how digital technologies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in particular the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, 3D printing and Blockchain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; affect trade costs, the nature of what is traded and the composition of trade.

The Report discusses the opportunities arising from the development of digital technologies, in particular for developing countries and smaller firms, but also the challenges. It also examines how international trade cooperation can help governments both seize these opportunities and address the challenges. The Report finds that one of the most significant impacts of digital technologies is the extent to which they will reduce trade costs. It also highlights that digital technologies will affect the composition of trade by increasing the services component, fostering trade in certain goods such as time-sensitive products, changing patterns of comparative advantage, and affecting the complexity and length of global value chains. A number of simulations outlined in the Report show that future technological changes are expected to increase trade growth, especially in trade in services, and that developing countries are likely to gain an increasing share of global trade. The expansion of digital trade is likely to entail considerable benefits but international cooperation is needed to help governments ensure that digital trade continues to be an engine of inclusive economic development.

World Trade Report 2017 Trade, technology and jobs The 2017 World Trade Report examines how technology and trade affect employment and wages. It analyses the challenges for workers and firms in adjusting to changes in labour markets, and how governments can facilitate such adjustment to ensure that trade and technology are inclusive. The Report looks in particular into the part played by technology and trade in the shift of employment from manufacturing to services, in the decreasing proportion of middle-skilled jobs, in the growing value placed on skills within the jobs market and in the increasing participation of women in the workforce.

Trade multilateralism in the twenty-first-century century faces a serious test as weakness in the global economy and fast-paced technological changes create a challenging environment for world trade. This book examines how an updated and robust, rules-based multilateral framework, anchored in the WTO, remains indispensable to maximizing the benefits of global economic integration and to reviving world trade. By examining recent accessions to the WTO, it reveals how the growing membership of the WTO has helped to support domestic reforms and to strengthen the rules-based framework of the WTO. It argues that the new realities of the twenty-first century require an upgrade to the architecture of the multilateral trading system. By erecting its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;upper floorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the foundation of existing trade rules, the WTO can continue to adapt to a fast-changing environment and to maximize the benefits brought about by its everexpanding membership.

A Handbook on the WTO Dispute Settlement System Second edition The WTO dispute settlement system has become one of the most dynamic, effective and successful international dispute settlement systems in the world over the past twenty years.

In addition to describing the existing rules and procedures, this accessibly written handbook explains how those rules and procedures have been interpreted by dispute settlement panels and the Appellate Body, and how they have evolved over time. The handbook provides practical information to help various audiences understand the day-to-day operation of the WTO dispute settlement system. Prepared by the Legal Affairs Division and the Rules Division of the WTO Secretariat, and the Appellate Body Secretariat.

Trade and Food Standards Trade in food is difficult to imagine without standards. Food standards give confidence to consumers about the safety, quality and authenticity of what they eat. By setting out a common understanding on different aspects of food for consumers, producers and governments, harmonization on the basis of international standards makes trade less costly and more inclusive. Food standards and trade go hand in hand in ensuring safe, nutritious and sufficient food for a growing world population. This publication emphasizes the importance of participation and engagement of governments in standards development in Codex and in resolving trade concerns in the WTO’s specialist committees (the Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures and the Technical Barriers to Trade Committee), as well as the importance of capacity development, which together contribute to the dynamism and robustness of the global system of food standards and trade.

Aid for Trade at a Glance 2017 Promoting Trade, Inclusiveness and Connectivity for Sustainable Development This edition of Aid for Trade at a Glance focuses on trade connectivity, which is critical for economic growth, inclusiveness and sustainable development. Physical connectivity enables the movement of goods and services to local, regional and global markets while digital connectivity is vital in today’s trade environment. Yet, the Internet remains inaccessible for 3.9 billion people globally, many of whom live in the least developed countries. This report builds on the analysis of trade costs and extends it into the digital domain, reflecting the changing nature of trade. It seeks to identify ways to support developing countries – and notably the least developed – in realising the gains from trade. It reviews action being taken by a broad range of stakeholders to promote connectivity for sustainable development, including by governments, their development partners and by the private sector. One message that emerges strongly is that participation in e-commerce requires much more than a simple Internet connection.

Investing in Skills for Inclusive Trade Investing in Skills for Inclusive Trade focuses on the linkages between trade and skills and between trade and skills development policies. The publication argues that in the fast-changing context of globalization, where technology and trade relations evolve rapidly, the responsiveness of skills supply to demand is particularly important. Drawing on the findings from relevant literature and from the ILOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Skills for Trade and Economic Diversification (STED) programme, this publication shows that appropriate skills development policies are key to helping firms participate in trade, and also to helping workers find good jobs.

20 Years of the Information Technology Agreement Boosting Trade, Innovation and Digital Connectivity Over the past 20 years, the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) has increased worldwide access to high-tech goods, such as computers, mobile phones and semiconductors. It has also contributed to greater access to the Internet and the growth of the digital economy, creating new opportunities for businesses and individuals in both developed and developing countries. To mark the 20th anniversary of the ITA, this publication analyses the impact of the ITA on its participants and on worldwide trade in IT products. It also reviews new developments, such as the landmark deal concluded in 2015 to eliminate tariffs on an additional 201 IT products valued at over $1.3 trillion per year. Finally, it highlights what still needs to be done to meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal of providing universal and affordable access to the Internet so that the benefits of the digital revolution can be enjoyed by all.

Regional Trade Agreements and the Multilateral Trading System The book explores bilateral and regional trade agreements and examines how they are changing international trade rules. It offers an important contribution to the current debate on the role of the WTO in regulating international trade and how WTO rules relate to new rules being developed by RTAs. It provides a deep analysis of RTA provisions, identifying which provisions tend to be more liberalizing than others, whether there are any trends that can be identified and whether RTA provisions are moving ahead of the WTO framework, thereby creating a dual system of standards for international trade.

While previous work has focused on subsets of RTAs, the studies in this publication are based on what is probably the largest dataset used to date.

How Trade Can Help to Reduce Poverty 10 Case Studies

10 case studies

Through the lens of ten case studies of developing and leastdeveloped countries, this volume shows that the expansion of international trade is essential to development and poverty reduction and that trade can drive poverty reduction through a number of channels, including boosting growth, increasing productivity, and empowering women. These studies also demonstrate that complementary policies are needed, to ensure that people living in extreme poverty can benefit fully from trade opportunities.

Can Blockchain Revolutionize International Trade This publication seeks to demystify the Blockchain phenomenon by providing a basic explanation of the technology. It analyses the relevance of this technology for international trade by reviewing how it is currently used or can be used in the various areas covered by WTO rules. In doing so, it provides an insight into the extent to which this technology could affect cross-border trade in goods and services, and intellectual property rights. It discusses the potential of Blockchain for reducing trade costs and enhancing supply chain transparency as well as the opportunities it provides for small-scale producers and companies. Finally, it reviews various challenges that must be addressed before the technology can be used on a wide scale and have a significant impact on international trade.

Over the past seven decades, since the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was established in 1947, there has been a phenomenal increase in international trade in goods, largely due to sustained efforts by the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main trading nations to reduce and eliminate tariff barriers in a multilaterally orchestrated manner. This publication reviews how the procedures and practices relating to tariff negotiations and renegotiations have evolved over this time. In particular, this new edition recounts how negotiations to expand the duty-free coverage of the Information Technology Agreement were concluded and provides an account of tariff renegotiations regarding successive enlargements of the European Union. It also covers tariff negotiations for the accession of a number of new members to the WTO, such as China and Russia. This book will be of particular interest to negotiators, members of government, trade ministries, economists and academics specialized in trade policy.

Comprehensive update of the previous edition first published in 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It repays a close reading, and provides a comprehensive understanding of GATT/WTO tariff negotiations and renegotiations. It also makes an important contribution to the goal of transparency in international trade.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Andrew D. Mitchell and Tania Voon, reviewing the first edition for The Cambridge Law Journal

A Handbook on Accession to the WTO Second edition

A Handbook on Accession to the WTO was first published by CUP in 2008, covering 23 accessions concluded between 1995 and 2007. Since then, 13 more accessions have been concluded. While the procedures governing the WTO accession process remain largely unchanged, the second edition of the Handbook incorporates the substance of commitments undertaken in the newly completed accessions. It also updates the basic rules and discussions pertaining to WTO accessions, including the General Council Decision of 2012 on Accession of Least-Developed Countries. In addition, the new Handbook contains a new chapter on transparency in WTO accessions and updates elements which have been enhanced in the management of WTO accessions, such as technical assistance and training for acceding governments.

Second edition

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The accession process is important for many reasons and yet it is among the least studied and understood parts of the trading system. Thus, the WTO Secretariat is to be commended for sponsoring this project and enlisting Mr Williams to write The Handbook on Accession to the WTO. The Handbook will be especially useful for government officials and the private sector of applicant countries who need to understand the arcane accession process. The Handbook will also help to stimulate new scholarship on accession.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Source: Journal of World Trade Review, reviewing the first edition

Trade in Knowledge International trade has long served as a vital conduit for the transfer of technological knowledge and for the dissemination of cultural works. This trade originally took place predominantly through the knowledge content embedded in physical goods, but is increasingly defined by transactions that directly licence intangible intellectual property rights and by related trade in services. Content industries such as the music, audio-visual, publishing and software businesses are more likely today to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; their digital products as bundles of IP rights than they are to sell physical copies of these products.

The publication will examine the following: Part I:

Forthcoming publications

Growing recognition of the value and impact of the knowledge component of trade was a key factor in the conclusion, some 25 years ago, of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) within the framework of the WTO. However, contemporary policy makers confront an entirely new set of challenges integrating TRIPS measures into trade policies that respond to a digitally transformed knowledge economy; these challenges extend to the basic capacity to measure and to map the IP dimension of trade. This book aims to establish an authoritative basis for more clearly mapping the contemporary economic, legal and policy trends that are shaping trade in knowledge. A broad-based, selective group of internationally renowned economists, lawyers and policy analysts systematically review the current literature on the economic, legal and policy landscape for trade in knowledge and provide an integrated overview, grounded in empirical learning. They examine how to map knowledge flows across borders and how to assess the impact of these flows, and on that basis chart the consequent legal, economic and policy dimensions.

Trade, Connectivity and Inclusiveness

Case Studies by WTO Chairs Trade, Connectivity and Inclusiveness: Case Studies by WTO Chairs gathers together research undertaken by the WTO Chairs Programme on topics such as trade and poverty, promoting connectivity and “trade behind the headlines”, which was the theme of the 2017 WTO Public Forum. The papers were presented by WTO chairs at the 2017 Aid for Trade Global Review, the 2017 Public Forum and the Annual Conference of the Chairs Programme held in Bueno Aires, Argentina, at the end of 2017. The WTO Chairs Programme aims to support and promote trade-related academic activities by universities and research institutions in developing and least-developed countries. The Programme currently consists of 19 institutions.

The Role of the TBT/SPS Agreements in Supporting International Regulatory Cooperation This publication focuses on the role of the WTO in supporting international regulatory cooperation. The publication takes a critical look at how WTO members’ implementation of the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Agreement and the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) Agreement and the work of the TBT and SPS committees contribute to improving regulatory quality. The publication aims to bridge the gap between the trade community and the regulatory policy community.

Making Globalization More Inclusive

Lessons from Government Adjustment Policies This publication identifies examples of how governments have adopted adjustment policies that have contributed to making globalization more inclusive in developed and developing economies. The publication contributes to the policy debate in several ways. First, it helps to explain how governments can ensure that the benefits from trade are shared more broadly within countries. Secondly, by showing how the design of appropriate adjustment policies can make globalization more inclusive, it responds to concerns about the effects of trade on labour markets. Thirdly, it helps to explain how governments can respond to technological change, which may have a more significant impact on changes in the labour market than those caused by trade.

Trade Facilitation Agreement: Breaking New Ground The Trade Facilitation Agreement is the first multilateral treaty adopted in the WTO since the organization was created. This book looks at how the Agreement is structured and how it relates to existing WTO agreements, namely the Customs Valuation Agreement, the Agreement on Rules of Origin, the Agreement on Import Licensing, the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, the Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures and the Agreement on Pre-shipment Inspection. The publication includes the full text of the Trade Facilitation Agreement.

Agriculture Policy Landscape The food and agriculture landscape has dramatically evolved in the past 15 years and faces new challenges in the future. Developing countries play an increasingly important role in world agricultural markets, with five out of the six top producers being developing countries. The mix of policies implemented by countries that affect the agriculture and food sector has also evolved over the past decade. Policy makers have a variety of tools at their disposal to ensure that their population has adequate food and to ensure that the enabling conditions for their agriculture and food sector are in place. While the WTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture rules have minimised distortions in production and trade, there is considerable room for improvement so as to enable the multilateral trading system to respond effectively to the transformation of the agriculture sector. This publication contains contributions from experts in agriculture policy and trade from both developed and developing countries on the trends and future expectations of the global food and agriculture economy. The publication also focuses on contemporary issues of importance to developing countries.

Global Value Chain Development Report 2019

New edition

Global value chains (GVCs) that spread the production process across countries have greatly expanded their share of world trade and world production over the past 20 years. In the years immediately after the Global Financial Crisis, however, the expansion of GVCs stalled, according to some measures reported in the 2017 GVC Development Report. At the same time, the world has seen the emergence of populist, protectionist movements in many advanced countries with potential consequences for growth opportunities in developing countries but also, in a world of high interdependencies, developed economies. The second Global Value Chain Development Report brings together a set of studies that examine the inter-related issues of technology and business model innovation, supply chain trade and workers in a globalized world. It updates the trends in GVC development in both developed and developing economies according to a set of GVC indicators based on available macro and micro statistics, and explores the development of GVCs by technology level, by income level, and by economic and geographical blocks.

Trade can be considered inclusive if it creates equal opportunities for all to participate and share its benefits. However, the notion of trade inclusiveness has remained relatively broad, encompassing various dimensions. This publication brings together a number of contributions, with the aim of clarifying the concept of trade inclusiveness and the analytical framework that could be used to assess inclusiveness in relation to trade. The publication considers trade inclusiveness from four perspectives: countries, regions, firms and people. At the country level, inclusive trade would create a level playing field for all countries, irrespective of their size and economic power. At the regional level, inclusive trade would create equal opportunities to gain from trade for different regions of a country, including relatively poorer, remote and rural regions. At the firm level, inclusive trade would ensure equal opportunities for all enterprises, irrespective of their size and market power, including micro, small and medium enterprises. Finally, at the household level, trade would be inclusive if its benefits could be broadly shared, including by disadvantaged social groups (youth, women, migrants, etc.). Thus, inclusive trade may be seen as a unifying framework for disperse policy issues, all of which are high on the global agenda.

How did a treaty that emerged in the aftermath of the Second World War, and barely survived its early years, evolve into one of the most influential organisations in international law? This unique book brings together original contributions from an unprecedented number of eminent current and former GATT and WTO staff members, including many current and former Appellate Body members, to trace the history of law and lawyers in the GATT/WTO and explore how the nature of legal work has evolved over the institution’s sixty-year history. In doing so, it paints a fascinating portrait of the development of the rule of law in the multilateral trading system, and allows some of the most important personalities in GATT and WTO history to share their stories and reflect on the WTO’s remarkable journey from a ‘provisionally applied treaty’ to an international organisation defined by its commitment to the rule of law.

The WTO Regime on Government Procurement

A Literature Review

From Trade in Goods to Trade in Tasks

Challenge and Reform

Global value chains (GVCs) have become ubiquitous. They are more studied and talked about than ever before. The many manifestations of international production sharing investment, development and international economic cooperation more generally. GVCs are at the economic heart of globalisation. Policies of governments are central to outcomes, influencing the establishment, configuration and operation of GVCs in numerous ways. Technological possibilities and firm behaviour are also crucial determinants of what happens in the supply chain world. The literature that attempts to understand and explain GVCs is vast, multi-disciplinary and no less complex than the phenomenon itself. This volume is an ambitious attempt at a fairly comprehensive review of literature on the subject. While extensive, to claim it is comprehensive and the last word would be like saying that GVCs hold no more mystery and never change.

Government Procurement Agreement

Trade, innovation and global production networks

pr om

To mark the 15th anniversary of the ITA, this publication charts the political and technical obstacles which were overcome during the creation of the Agreement and the issues which still need to be resolved. It details the establishment of the ITA Committee and how the Agreement is implemented, and investigates the impact the ITA has had on trade liberalization and innovation. The publication also examines the effect information technology has had on global production networks and what this means for developing countries and the ITA.

The Making of the TRIPS Agreement presents for the first time the diverse personal accounts of the negotiators of this unique trade agreement. Their rich contributions illustrate how different policy perspectives and trade interests were accommodated in the final text, and map the shifting alliances that transcended conventional boundaries between developed and developing countries, with a close look at issues such as copyright for software, patents on medicines and the appropriate scope of protection of geographical indications. Contributors share their views on how intellectual property fitted into the overall Uruguay Round, the political and economic considerations driving TRIPS negotiations, the role of non-state actors, the sources of the substantive and procedural standards that were built into the TRIPS Agreement, and future issues in the area of intellectual property. In probing how negotiations led to an enduring agreement that has served as a framework for policy-making in many countries, the contributions offer lessons for current and future negotiators. The contributors highlight the enabling effect of a clear negotiating agenda, and underscore the important, but distinct, roles of the Chair, of the Secretariat and above all, of the negotiators themselves.

Promoting Access to Medical Technologies and Innovation

WHO – – WIPO WIPO – – WTO WTO WHO

The Information and Technology Agreement (ITA) was finalized at the first WTO Ministerial Conference, in Singapore, in 1996, committing its participants to completely eliminate duties on certain information technology products. In its 15 years, the ITA has promoted affordable access to a wide range of technologies, encouraging closer cooperation between developed and developing countries. As production networks become increasingly global, the ITA will continue to facilitate the shift from products made in a specific country to “made in the world”.

Supply Chain Perspectives and Issues

Global value chains in a changing world

Efforts to understand the dimensions of GVCs have spread across disciplines. This volume is the product of a dialogue with policy makers in the Asian region, where economists, political scientists, management specialists, development thinkers and business executives joined together in an exploration of the multiple dimensions of supply chains, what drives them, how they operate, how they adapt in a rapidly changing world, and what they mean for development and for policy.

Supply Chain Perspectives and Issues

WTO – FGI – TFCTN

Global value chains in a changing world

Global value chains (GVC) are a major driving force of globalisation. They are an inevitable outgrowth of the application of transformative information and transport technologies, combined with new business models and largely open borders. The GVC phenomenon promotes integration on multiple levels. Today’s international production systems confound traditional ways of looking at investment, production, finance, information systems and technology. These can no longer be seen as separate, meriting distinct attention and discrete policy treatment. The international fragmentation of production has generated the opposite of fragmentation – a complex networked system of production and consumption with innumerable moving, interactive parts.

WTO Domestic Regulation and Services Trade

Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures Ensuring Safe Trading without Unnecessary Restrictions

Putting Principles into Practice

Domestic regulation of services sectors has a significant impact on services trade liberalization, which is why General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) disciplines are negotiated in the WTO. With the help of analyses and case studies from academics, regulators and trade experts, this book explores the scope and limits of WTO legal principles to promote domestic regulatory reform. Case studies discuss country-specific challenges and experiences of regulating important service sectors, such as finance, telecommunications, distribution, legal, education, health, postal and logistics services, as well as the role of regulatory impact assessments. The findings will interest trade officials, policy-makers, regulators, think tanks and businesses concerned with the implications of domestic regulation on access to services markets, and with the opportunities for formulating trade disciplines in this area. It is also a useful resource for academics and students researching regulatory approaches and practices in services sectors.

Aik Hoe Lim is a Counsellor in the Trade in Services Division of the WTO Secretariat, where he is Secretary to the body responsible for negotiating domestic regulation disciplines for services.

SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY Bart De Meester is an Associate at the Geneva Office of Sidley Austin LLP. He previously MEASURES worked as a Legal Affairs Officer at the Trade in Services Division of the WTO.

Trade and development: recent trends and the role of the WTO

In recent decades, trade flows have become increasingly global, with developing countries and emerging economies playing an ever-expanding role.

However, these countries face a number of constraints in connecting to global markets. To obtain a better understanding of these constraints, the WTO invited the members of its academic network in developing countries – the WTO Chairs Programme – to identify major challenges in their respective countries and suggest ways to overcome them. In response, the WTO chair-holders contributed a set of papers to the WTO’s Annual Conference of the Chairs Programme and to the Global Review of Aid for Trade in July 2013.

AIDFORTRADE AT A GLANCE 2015 Connecting Trade World to global markets Report 2014

This volume brings together these contributions from the 14 WTO chair-holders. It is divided into four sections, focusing on export diversification, the role of non-tariff measures, the rule of law in connecting to global markets, and the role of the Aid for Trade initiative in building trade capacity and overcoming supply side constraints. The contributions provide some powerful arguments in support of using trade policy instruments as an engine for growth and provide valuable insights into how developing countries can increasingly integrate into the multilateral trading system.

High trade costs inhibit the trade integration of numerous developing economies, slowing their economic growth and development prospects. Furthermore, these costs tend to weigh heaviest on the poorest economies, on the smallest firms and on trade in agricultural products. This publication calls for concerted action through the Aid for Trade Initiative to reduce these trade costs and contribute to achieving the emerging post-2015 development agenda.

Published in 2014 CHF 30.-

World trade has expanded signiﬁcantly in recent years, making a major contribution to global growth. Economic growth has not led to a corresponding improvement in working conditions and living standards for many workers. In developing countries, job creation has largely taken place in the informal economy, where around 60 per cent of workers are employed. Most of the workers in the informal economy have almost no job security, low incomes and no social protection, with limited opportunities to beneﬁt from globalization.

2005

This study focuses on the relationship between trade and the growth of the informal economy in developing countries. Based on existing academic literature, complemented with new empirical research by the ILO and the WTO, the study discusses how trade reform affects different aspects of the informal economy. It also examines how high rates of informal employment diminish the scope for developing countries to translate trade openness into sustainable long-term growth. The report analyzes how well-designed trade and decent-work friendly policies can complement each other so as to promote sustainable development and growing prosperity in developing countries.

Trade Policy Review

Monitoring the trade policies and practices of WTO members is a fundamentally important activity of the WTO. All WTO members are reviewed at regular intervals, according to their share of world trade. Each Trade Policy Review consists of three parts: a report by the government under review, a report written independently by the WTO Secretariat, and the concluding remarks by the Chair of the Trade Policy Review Body. A highlights section provides an overview of key trade facts.

World Trade Report 2008 Trade in a Globalizing World

World Trade Report 2013

The world is changing with extraordinary rapidity, driven by many influences, including shifts in production and consumption patterns, continuing technological innovation, new ways of doing business and, of course, policy. The World Trade Report 2013 focuses on how trade is both a cause and an effect of change and looks into the factors shaping the future of world trade.

Economic and political institutions along with the interplay of cultural customs among countries all help to shape international cooperation, including in the trade field. The future of trade will also be affected by the extent to which politics and policies successfully address issues of growing social concern, such as the availability of jobs and persistent income inequality. These and other factors are all examined in the World Trade Report 2013.

World Trade Report 2013

One of the most significant drivers of change is technology. Not only have revolutions in transport and communications transformed our world but new developments, such as 3D printing, and the continuing spread of information technology will continue to do so. Trade and foreign direct investment, together with a greater geographical spread of income growth and opportunity, will integrate a growing number of countries into more extensive international exchange. Higher incomes and larger populations will put new strains on both renewable and non-renewable resources, calling for careful resource management. Environmental issues will also call for increasing attention.

Expanding World Trade and Strengthening WTO Rules

Page 1

World Trade Organization What have WTO accessions contributed to the rules-based multilateral trading system? What demands have been made by original WTO members on acceding governments? How have the acceding governments fared? This volume of essays offers critical readings on how WTO accession negotiations have expanded the reach of the multilateral trading system not only geographically but also conceptually, clarifying disciplines and pointing the way to their further strengthening in future negotiations. Members who have acceded since the WTO was established now account for 20 per cent of total WTO membership. In the age of globalization there is an increased need for a universal system of trade rules. Accession negotiations have been used by governments as an instrument for domestic reforms, and one lesson from the accession process is that there are contexts which lead multilateral trade negotiations to successful outcomes even in the complex and multi-polar 21st-century economic environment.
