From GATT to the WTO: The Multilateral Trading System in the New Millenum
2000014842CN The Hague: Kluwer Law International 2000. Cloth/Laminated Boards. Like New/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the multilateral trading system GATT/WTO the World Trade Organization WTO organized a symposium to discuss and analyze the current and future role of the world trading system. The rapid developments in the 1990s - not only political but also economic and technological changes - have brought the WTO to a turning point in its existence. The new challenge as the Director General stated in his opening remarks at the symposium is not just to advance free trade against the forces of protectionism. The WTO's future agenda should also look at how investment and competition laws affect market access; whether differing labour or environmental standards confer a trade advantage and how this should be dealt with; whether taxation and innovation policies constitute a subsidy; whether governments should be allowed to regulate content on the Internet. These and other issues are a world away from "traditional" trade concerns such as tariffs or quotas and yet all are included in one form or another on the new trade agenda. In this topical collection of essays academics in international trade take a fresh look at the future of the global trading system and give an analysis of the new trade agenda. 183pp. Kluwer Law International hardcover
