The Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations ended in 1994 with massive publicity about the claimed benefits of the rounds results. This timely book counters the one-sided acclaim by presenting a balanced view. It provides a concise analysis of the various WTO Agreements and pinpoints their many deficiencies and imbalances (from the viewpoint of developing countries). Just as useful, it provides several specific proposals to offset or overcome the weaknesses and imbalances. The following issues are scrutinised: • The WTOs dispute settlement mechanisms. • Market access and tariffs. • Balance of payment measures and safeguard measures. • Subsidies and countervailing measures, and anti-dumping. • Agreements in sectors: agriculture and textiles. • Non-traditional issues: services and intellectual property rights. • New protectionism in developed countries via the environment. • Neglected commitments of developed countries in Part IV of GATT. The author concretely identifies altogether 44 items of deficiencies and imbalances and provides 49 suggestions for improvements to the Agreements and the WTO system. The book ends with a chapter on whether the suggested improvements are possible in the current multilateral environment. It concludes that all is possible, provided the developing countries are united in moving for positive changes. The end of the book also contains a helpful summary of the positive features in various Agreements, deficiencies and imbalances in them, and the authors suggestions for improvements. Englisch 250g<

This companion volume to "An Introduction to the WTO Agreements" is an indispensable evaluation, section by section, of where the WTO agreements represent progress over the GATT rules they have replaced. The author also analyzes their deficiencies and imbalances from the point of view of the developing countries. He also proposes detailed changes (and strategies) which, in his view, the countries of the South ought now to be putting forward in the next round of negotiations on trade and related issues which have already commenced.
