| Summary: | The author analyzes what actions could
be taken in the context of the World Trade
Organization's Doha negotiations to assist countries in
reaping benefits from deeper trade integration. He discusses
the policy agenda that confronts many developing countries
and identifies a number of focal points that could be used
both as targets and as benchmarks to increase the likelihood
that WTO negotiations will support development. To achieve
these targets, the author proposes a number of negotiating
modalities for both goods and services-related market access
issues, as well as rule-making in regulatory areas.
Throughout the analysis, the author refers to the work of J.
Michael Finger, whose numerous writings in this area have
not only greatly influenced the thinking of policymakers and
researchers on the interaction between trade policy,
economic development, and the GATT/WTO trading system, but
also provides a model for how to pursue effective policy research. |
