A Handbook on Accession to the WTO Foreword by Arif Hussain

The Handbook provides the fi rst 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 offi cials from acceding governments, WTO members, academia, and anyone else interested in this area.2008 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press

WTO Public Forum 2007: “How Can the WTOHelp 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 benefi ts for increased global trade. These disparate issues are organized into sub-themes: global governance, coherence, economic growth, and sustainable development. More specifi c 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.

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 fi nal achievement in many instances surpassed the original goals.1998 | Co-published with Kluwer Law International

World Trade Report 2008 Trade in a Globalizing World

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 benefi ts 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 benefi ts of trade for society at large. Published in 2008.

Globalization and informal jobs in developing countries

This joint study by the International Labour Offi ce 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

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 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 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.2009 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press


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. 2009 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press

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 infl uenced 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 fl owing from a rules-based international environment that promotes open trade.2005 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press

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 fl urry 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.

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 defi nition of trade in services under the General Agreements on Trade in Services (GATS).2001 | Co-published with Kluwer Law International and Éditions Yvon Blais

The Internationalization of Financial Services : Issues and Lessons for Developing Countries Stijn Claessens and Marion Jansen

The internationalization of fi nancial services is an important issue for strengthening and liberalizing fi nancial systems in developing countries. There has been considerable support for the view that internationalization can assist countries in building fi nancial systems that are more stable and effi cient 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 benefi ts and costs of internationalization, and together provide an insight into the diversity and signifi cance of the effects of internationalization on domestic fi nancial systems.2001 | Co-published with Kluwer Law International

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.2000 | Co-published with Kluwer Law International

The WTO in the Twenty - fi rst Century : Dispute Settlement, Negotiations, and Regionalism in Asia Edited by Yasuhei Taniguchi, Alan Yanovich, Jan Bohanes

Three signifi cant 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 fi rst 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 fi eld of international trade law from North America, Europe and Asia-Pacifi c. In addition, special sections focus on the Asia-Pacifi c region, its participation in WTO dispute settlement and negotiations, and recent trends towards greater regional integration.2007 | Co-published with Cambridge University Press
