| Summary: | How can international trade agreements
promote development and how can rules be designed to benefit
poor countries? Can multilateral trade cooperation in the
World Trade Organization (WTO) help developing countries
create and strengthen institutions and regulatory regimes
that will enhance the gains from trade and integration into
the global economy? And should this even be done? These are
questions that confront policy makers and citizens in both
rich and poor countries, and they are the subject of this
publication. It analyzes how the trading system could be
made more supportive of economic development, without
eroding the core WTO functions. |
