ABOUT THE WTO
10 Common Misunderstandings about the WTO
Is it a dictatorial tool of the rich and powerful? Does it destroy jobs? Does it ignore the concerns of health, the environment and development? Emphatically no. Criticisms of the WTO are often based on fundamental misunderstandings of the way the WTO works. This booklet attempts to clear up ten common misunderstandings.

The WTO Building Brochure
The WTO Building brochure provides a fascinating insight into the artwork, architecture, and history of the Centre William Rappard, home to the World Trade Organization. The brochure describes the origins of the building, which previously housed the International Labour Organization and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Lavishly illustrated, the brochure highlights the many works of art and decorative items donated by countries and institutions over the years. Stunning photographs illustrate the varied paintings, frescos, bas-reliefs and statues housed within the Centre William Rappard. The accompanying text focuses on the architects who designed and built it and the artists who helped to create a variety of works that span several decades. This brochure reveals many hidden treasures, many of which have only recently come to light. Published in 2008. The WTO Building Brochure El edificio de la OMC Le bâtiment de l’OMC

A Handbook on Accession to the WTO
ABOUT THE WTO
Foreword by Arif Hussain
The Handbook provides the first detailed explanation and analysis of how governments become members of the WTO. The WTO Agreement, which came into force on 1 January 1995, provides few details on how this process takes place. The steps in the detailed negotiations leading up to accession have evolved over the years through the actual process that governments have followed to become members of the WTO. This handbook provides a unique account of how the process has evolved and details exactly what is involved. The input provided by the WTO Secretariat in the preparation of the guide has resulted in the publication of information that has not been available until now to anyone outside the Secretariat. The handbook will serve as a useful source of reference for officials from acceding governments, WTO members, academia, and anyone else interested in this area.

WTO Public Forum 2007: “How Can the WTO Help Harness Globalization?”
The second edition of the Public Forum addresses the discussions and concerns raised during the 2007 WTO Public Forum, whose theme was “How Can the WTO Help Harness Globalization?” The discussion of this topic comes at a time when many member countries are experiencing concerns regarding the impact of global trade on an already fragile environment, the ever-present economic and trade differences between the North and the South, and the possible completion of the overdue Doha Development Round and its ensuing benefits for increased global trade. These disparate issues are organized into sub-themes: global governance, coherence, economic growth, and sustainable development. More specific topics are also discussed, such as the ability of global trade to help reduce climate change, to create win-win situations in international trade, and to push international trade into the national development strategy. CD-ROM included. Published in 2008. 2007 WTO Public Forum

Reshaping the World Trading System – 2nd Edition John Croome
Take 120 governments and territories, each bent on vigorously seeking its own self-interest. Give them a mandate to reach agreement on new rules for more open markets – not only for goods but for services and intellectual property as well. And give them a time-limit – four years. It sounds impossible and it almost was. This is the story, told in frank, lively and non-technical terms, of how and why the Uruguay Round came about, what the participant countries sought, and the twists, turns, setbacks and successes of each stage and sector of the negotiations … and how, after seven years, the final achievement in many instances surpassed the original goals.

Trade Policy Commitments and Contingency Measures The World Trade Report 2009 examines the range of measures that governments may call upon in trade agreements and the role that these measures can play when governments face an economic crisis. The Report provides an economic, legal and political economy analysis of the key features of different types of measures and illustrates the benefits and costs associated with such measures. The Report also analyses whether WTO provisions provide a balance between giving governments the necessary flexibility to face difficult economic situations and at the same time limiting the use of these provisions for protectionist purposes.

Trade in a Globalizing World
World Trade Report 2008 Informe sobre el Comercio Mundial 2008 Rapport sur le commerce mondial 2008
RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
The purpose of the Report, whose main theme is “Trade in a Globalizing World�, is to remind ourselves of what we know about the gains from international trade and the challenges arising from higher levels of integration. The Report addresses a range of interlinking questions, starting with a consideration of what constitutes globalization, what drives it, what benefits does it bring, what challenges does it pose and what role does trade play in this world of ever-growing inter-dependency. The Report asks why some countries have managed to take advantage of falling trade costs and greater policy-driven trading opportunities while others have remained largely outside international commercial relations. It also considers who the winners and losers are from trade and what complementary action is needed from policy-makers to secure the benefits of trade for society at large. Published in 2008.

Globalization and informal jobs in developing countries
This joint study by the International Labour Office and the Secretariat of the World Trade Organization 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 policies can complement each other so as to promote sustainable development and growing prosperity in developing countries.

Multilateralizing Regionalism : Challenges for the Global Trading System Edited by Richard Baldwin, Patrick Low
RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
Regional trade agreements (RTAs) have proliferated around the world in the past two decades, and now nearly all members of the WTO are party to at least one. Besides tariffs and rules of origin regulating trade in goods, many RTA’s now include provisions on services, investments, technical barriers to trade and competition rules, as well as a host of issues not directly related to trade. The geographic reach of RTA’s is expanding, with transcontinental agreements spreading forcefully alongside intraregional agreements. ‘Multilateralizing Regionalism’ was the title of a major conference held from 10–12 September 2007 at the WTO in Geneva. Together, the conference papers achieve two things. First, they marshall detailed, new empirical work on the nature of the ‘Spaghetti Bowl’ of RTA’s and the problems it poses for the multilateral trade system. Second, they contribute fresh and creative thinking on how to ‘tame the tangle’ of regional trade agreements.

Regional Rules in the Global Trading System Edited by Antoni Estevadeordal, Kati Suominen, Robert Teh
The proliferation of regional trade agreements (RTAs) over the past two decades has led to the relationships between regional and WTO rules or disciplines becoming increasingly complex. A major obstacle to advancing the understanding of RTAs is the absence of detailed information about their contents. This limits empirical analysis of their economic effects and policy debate between those who view RTAs as discriminatory instruments hostage to protectionist interests and those who see them as conducive to multilateral opening. In response, contributors to this book provide analytical mappings of RTA rules in six key areas – market access, technical barriers to trade, contingent protection, investment, services and competition policy – across dozens of the main RTAs.

Managing the Challenges of WTO Participation – 45 Case Studies Edited by Peter Gallagher, Patrick Low, Andrew L. Stoler
RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
This compilation of 45 case studies documents disparate experiences among economies in addressing the challenges of participating in the WTO. It demonstrates that success or failure is strongly influenced by how governments and private sector stakeholders organise themselves at home. The contributors, mainly from developing countries, give examples of participation with lessons for others. They show that when the system is accessed and employed effectively, it can serve the interests of poor and rich countries alike. However, a failure to communicate among interested parties at home often contributes to negative outcomes on the international front. Above all, these case studies demonstrate that the WTO creates a framework within which sovereign decision-making can unleash important opportunities or undermine the potential benefi ts flowing from a rules-based international environment that promotes open trade.

RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
This study is the outcome of collaborative research between the World Trade Organization Secretariat and the International Labour Office (ILO). It addresses an issue that is of concern to both organizations: the relationship between trade and employment. On the basis of an overview of the existing academic economic literature, the study provides an impartial view of what can be between trade and employment, an often contentious issue of public debate. Its focus is on the connections between trade policies, and labour and social policies and it will be useful to all those who are interested in this debate: academics and policymakers, workers and employers, trade and labour specialists.

Discussion Paper n°12 The Changing Landscape of Regional Trade Agreements : 2006 Update Edited by Roberto V. Fiorentino, Luis Verdeja and Christelle Toqueboeuf
RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) have become in recent years a very prominent feature of the Multilateral Trading System. The impasse in the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) negotiations is further strengthening members’ resolve to conclude such agreements as a flurry of new RTA initiatives have emerged in recent months whose effects will be felt in the years to come. The objective of this paper is not to assess the pros and cons of RTAs; rather to raise awareness of the magnitude of the RTA phenomenon, the main trends and characteristics of this proliferation with quantitative and qualitative indicators.

Trade and Poverty Reduction in the Asia-Pacific Region
Case studies and lessons from low-income communities Edited by Andrew L. Stoler, Jim Redden, Lee Ann Jackson
This book explores the complex relationship between international trade and poverty reduction through a combination of research papers and contemporary case studies. Written mainly by developing-country authors in consultation with local businesses and communities, the case studies contribute to our understanding of the ways in which low-income communities are dealing with trade as a practical challenge, especially in the Asia-Pacific region where approximately two-thirds of the world’s poor live. While making it clear that there is no ‘one size fits all’ formula, the research and stories highlight a number of necessary preconditions, such as political commitment and cooperation at all levels, if trade is to successfully reduce poverty.

Aid for Trade at a Glance 2009: Maintaining Momentum
TRADE TOPICS
This Aid for Trade monitoring report — the second of its kind — documents the success of the initiative to date. It examines trends and developments and presents a comprehensive analysis of donor and partner country engagement. In addition, it addresses the regional dimension of Aid for Trade and showcases three crossborder infrastructure projects. Finally, the report provides fact sheets that help in assessing the outcomes and impacts of Aid for Trade. This second joint OECD/WTO report highlights that the Aid-forTrade Initiative has already made remarkable progress: developing countries are prioritising trade in their development strategies and, in response, donors are scaling up their resources. Maintaining momentum, particularly in light of the economic crisis, necessitates advancing broadly based in-country and regional dialogues.

Trade and Climate Change
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the international community. Mitigating global warming and adapting to its consequences will require major economic investment and, above all, unequivocal determination on the part of all policymakers. This Report reviews how trade and climate change policies interact, and how they can be mutually supportive. The aim of the Report is to promote greater understanding and assist policy-makers in this complex policy area. This publication uniquely examines the intersection between trade and climate change from four different but correlated perspectives: the science of climate change, economic aspects, multilateral efforts to tackle climate change, and national climate change policies and their trade effect.

Opening Markets for Trade in Services : Countries and Sectors in Bilateral and WTO Negotiations Edited by Juan A. Marchetti, Martin Roy
Trade in services is an increasingly important part of global trade and, as such, figures prominently in multilateral, regional and bilateral trade negotiations. In this volume of essays edited by Juan Marchetti and Martin Roy, academics, negotiators and experts from various international organizations explore the achievements of such negotiations, together with the challenges and opportunities which arise and the motivations that come into play in such negotiations. The contributions highlight issues in important services sectors, such as distribution, energy, finance, telecommunications, air transport and the postal and audiovisual sectors, as well as areas such as cross-border trade and government procurement. Case studies look into the experiences of specific countries. The focus on sector analysis and country experiences sheds light on the state of services liberalization and the regulation of international trade in services, making this an indispensable guide to ongoing and future international negotiations on this topic.

Guide to the GATS : An Overview of Issues for Further Liberalization WTO Secretariat
This work brings together in one volume the background papers on major service sectors prepared by the WTO Secretariat for the WTO’s Council for Trade in Services. Following an analysis of the economic effects of services liberalization, 19 chapters on individual service sectors consider the issues which WTO members need to consider when framing their negotiating positions and objectives for the current round of negotiations and preparing their industries for a more open trading environment. Many of the papers also identify prevalent forms of trade restriction or discrimination and suggest areas for further work. In addition, the work includes a detailed description of the structure of services commitments as submitted by WTO members with respect to the four modes of supply which constitute the definition of trade in services under the General Agreements on Trade in Services (GATS). 2001

The Internationalization of Financial Services : Issues and Lessons for Developing Countries Stijn Claessens and Marion Jansen
TRADE TOPICS
The internationalization of financial services is an important issue for strengthening and liberalizing financial systems in developing countries. There has been considerable support for the view that internationalization can assist countries in building financial systems that are more stable and efficient by introducing international standards and practices. At the same time, there have been concerns about the risks that internationalization may carry for some countries, particularly in the absence of adequate regulatory structures. The chapters in this book examine different aspects of this debate, the relative benefits and costs of internationalization, and together provide an insight into the diversity and significance of the effects of internationalization on domestic financial systems.

Trade, Development and the Environment
The book explores the relationships between trade and the environment, and trade and development, which have become increasingly complex. The need to reconcile the competing demands of economic growth, economic development, and environmental protection has become central to the multilateral trade agenda. In this volume various commentators debate the role of the World Trade Organization and other institutions in addressing these challenges. The book arises from the papers presented at two High Level Symposia hosted by the World Trade Organization in March 1999, on Trade and the Environment and Trade and Development.

The WTO in the Twenty - fi rst Century : Dispute Settlement, Negotiations, and Regionalism in Asia Edited by Yasuhei Taniguchi, Alan Yanovich, Jan Bohanes
Three significant issues will determine the future of the WTO: dispute settlement, negotiations and regional integration. Dispute settlement is widely regarded as one of the major successes of the WTO in its first ten years. Concluding the Doha round of negotiations is one of the WTO’s main challenges. Regional integration is now at the frontline of debate as regional agreements proliferate and policy-makers and academics come to grips with their impacts on the multilateral trading system. These issues, and the interplay between them, are examined by leading scholars and practitioners in the field of international trade law from North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. In addition, special sections focus on the AsiaPacific region, its participation in WTO dispute settlement and negotiations, and recent trends towards greater regional integration.

Tariff Negotiations and Renegotiations under the GATT and the WTO – Procedures and Practices Anwarul Hoda
The procedures and practices to implement the provisions relating to tariff negotiations and renegotiations have evolved considerably since the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was established in 1947. The provisions themselves have undergone some changes in the last 54 years. Professor Hoda reviews the evolution of these provisions and of the procedures adopted and practices followed by the contracting parties to GATT 1947 and the members of the WTO. He offers some conclusions and recommendations. This book will be of particular interest to negotiators, government trade ministries, economists, and all academics who specialise in trade policy.
