Understanding the WTO An introduction to the WTO, what it is, why it was created, how it works, and what it does, Understanding the WTO has been written specifically for non-specialists. More comprehensive then WTO in Brief, this publication details WTO agreements, the dispute settlement process, the Doha round of negotiations and many other issues.
10 Benefits of the WTO Trading System From the money in our pockets and the goods and services that we use, to a more peaceful world – the WTO and the trading system offer a range of benefits, some well known, others not so obvious. Ten Benefits of the WTO Trading System tries to reflect the complex and dynamic nature of trade.
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.

ABOUT THE WTO
WTO Public Forum 2007 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 of: 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 winwin situations in international trade, and to push international trade into the national development strategy. CD-ROM included. English ISBN 978-92-870-3372-4 | CHF 30.Espaùol ISBN 978-92-870-3473-1 | CHF 30.Français ISBN 978-92-870-3474-8 | CHF 30.-
A Handbook on Accession to 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. 2008 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press PB : English ISBN 978-0-521-72868-3 | CHF 55HB: English ISBN 978-0-521-42594-0 | CHF 1256

ABOUT THE WTO
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. 1998 | Co-published with Kluwer Law International English ISBN 90-411-1126-3 | CHF 170.-
The Future of the WTO The Future of the WTO is a report on the future of the multilateral trading system, including recommendations on reforms. It was prepared by the Director-General's Consultative Board. Published in January 2005

RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
World Trade Report 2008 The purpose of this year’s 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. In examining these complex and multi-faceted questions, the Report reviews both the theoretical gains from trade and empirical evidence that can help to answer these questions.

Managing the Challenges of WTO Participation – 45 Case Studies Edited by Peter Gallagher, Patrick Low, Andrew L. Stoler
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 decisionmaking can unleash important opportunities or undermine the potential benefits flowing from a rules-based international environment that promotes open trade. 2005 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press PB : English ISBN 978-0-521-67754-7 | CHF 80.HB: English ISBN 978-0-521-86014-7 | CHF 160.-

Multilateralizing Regionalism : Challenges for the Global Trading System
Available 2009
Edited by Richard Baldwin, Patrick Low
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 RTAs 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 RTAs is expanding, with transcontinental agreements spreading forcefully alongside intra-regional 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 RTAs 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. • Revised papers benefit from discussion between 70 trade scholars and analysts, as well as over 100 members of the various national delegations of the WTO • Examines how to globalise the benefits of regional liberalisation, the key problem for policy makers who believe the post-war multilateral trading regime of the GATT/WTO is worth saving • Further advances the discussion over how to multilateralise the benefits of regional liberalisation. 2009 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press PB : English ISBN 978-0-521-73810-1 | CHF 60.HB: English ISBN 978-0-521-50601-4 | CHF 130.-

Trade and Employment : Challenges for Policy Research Marion Jansen and Eddy Lee
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 said, and with what degree of confidence, on the relationship 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 policy-makers, workers and employers, trade and labour specialists.

Discussion Paper n°13 Fulfilling the Marrakesh Mandate on Coherence : Ten Years of Cooperation between the WTO, IMF and World Bank Edited by Marc Auboin
This paper looks at ten years of cooperation between the three institutions, from routine daily work and projects to higher-profile initiatives. It describes the mandate and framework under which cooperation is organized, and provides an overview of the multipronged activities in which the WTO is engaged with its partners. It takes a critical look at what has been achieved so far in relation to expectations and according to the different interpretations of the mandate. In a forwardlooking perspective, it also examines how cooperation may develop in the future – either as a continuation of certain projects or new forms of cooperation, contingent on the successful conclusion of the Doha Round, and possible changes in the shape and architecture of the multilateral system. 2007 | English ISBN 978-92-870-3443-4 | CHF 20-
Discussion Paper n°12 The Changing Landscape of Regional Trade Agreements : 2006 Update Edited by Roberto V. Fiorentino, Luis Verdeja and Christelle Toqueboeuf
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. This paper builds upon a previous survey and aims at updating the numbers and verifying the trends observed at that time as well as the state of play of the DDA negotiations on WTO rules applying to RTAs. 2007 | English ISBN 978-92-870-3417-5 | CHF 20.20

Opening Markets for Trade in Services : Countries and Sectors in Bilateral and WTO Negotiations Available 2009 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. 2009 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press PB : English ISBN 978-0-521-73591-9 | CHF 85HB : English ISBN 978-0-521-51604-4 | CHF 165-

Regional Rules in the Global Trading System Available 2009 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. The information collected sheds light on the interplay between regional and multilateral trade rules, advances empirical work on the economic effects of RTAs and informs the policy debate on ways to deal with their burgeoning number. • Systematic analysis of the contents of RTAs allows the authors to compare the regional rules with existing multilateral agreements under the WTO • Includes detailed tables and charts of RTA rules in key areas, thus offering empirical data to readers wishing to embark on detailed analysis of RTAs • Surveys the economic literature relating to whether RTAs benefit or hinder multilateral liberalisation, offering readers a review of the economic theory of regionalism to complement the empirical analysis of RTA rules. 2009 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press PB : English 978-0-521-75934-2 | CHF 50.HB: English 978-0-521-76084-3 | CHF 120.-

The Internationalization of Financial Services : Issues and Lessons for Developing Countries Stijn Claessens and Marion Jansen
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. 2001 | Co-published with Kluwer Law International English ISBN 90-411-9817-2 | CHF 200.-

DISPUTE SETTLEMENT
The WTO at Ten : The Contribution of the Dispute Settlement System Edited by Giorgio Sacerdoti, Alan Yanovich, Jan Bohanes
Bringing together articles by some of the leading policy-makers, including previous WTO Director-Generals, practitioners, scholars of international trade law, government officials, international civil servants, members of the WTO Appellate Body, and judges from a number of international tribunals, this volume assesses the first ten years of the World Trade Organization. It examines: the relationship and balance between political governance and dispute settlement; the functioning of the dispute settlement procedures and various reform proposals; the contribution of the Appellate Body to the development of international trade law; and treaty interpretation in a number of international dispute settlements conducted by the WTO, the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Justice and the Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. This publication commemorates the tenth anniversary of the creation of the Appellate Body. 2006 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press English ISBN 978-0-521-86314-8 | CHF 140.-

DISPUTE SETTLEMENT
The WTO in the Twenty - first 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 AsiaPacific. In addition, special sections focus on the Asia-Pacific region, its participation in WTO dispute settlement and negotiations, and recent trends towards greater regional integration. 2007 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press English ISBN 978-0-521-86314-8 | CHF 155.-
Appellate Body Annual Report 2007 The Appellate Body Annual Report provides useful information about the composition of the Appellate Body, appeals filed, Appellate Body Reports circulated and the subject-matter of these Reports. It also covers participation of WTO members in appeals, issues relating to the Working Procedures for Appellate Review, arbitrations pursuant to Article 21.3 of the Dispute Settlement Understanding, and other activities undertaken by the Appellate Body and its Secretariat. This publication is available in English, French and Spanish.

The dictionary allocates generous space to the vocabulary associated with such agreements. It offers clear explanations, for example, of the concepts used in the administration of preferential rules of origin. Additional areas covered include emerging trade issues and issues based particularly on developing-country concerns.

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. 2001 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press English ISBN 978-0-521-80449-3 | CHF 135.The Information and Media Relations Division (IMRD) produces interactive training modules and learning materials in both print and electronic format on various trade topics.
The Institute for Training and Technical Cooperation (ITTC) was established to coordinate WTO-related technical assistance and training, in response to the main development-related challenges of the Doha Development Agenda.
