The author asks an important question that needs more public debate: what do we need the WTO for?

We just don't need the one that we have. By pitching unequally matched states together in chaotic bouts of negotiating the global trade governance of today offers - and has consistently offered - developed countries more of the economic opportunities they already have and developing countries very little of what they desperately need. This is an unsustainable state of affairs to which the blockages in the Doha round provide ample testimony. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo far only piecemeal solutions have been offered to refine this flawed system. Radical proposals that seek to fundamentally alter trade governance or reorient its purposes around more socially progressive and egalitarian goals are thin on the ground. Yet we eschew deeper reform at our peril. In \u003ci\u003eWhat's Wrong with the World Trade Organization and How to Fix It\u003c\/i\u003e Rorden Wilkinson argues that without global institutions fit for purpose, we cannot hope for the kind of fine global economic management that can put an end to major crises or promote development-for-all. Charting a different path he shows how the WTO can be transformed into an institution and a form of trade governance that fulfils its real potential and serves the needs of all.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTables xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations xiv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Starting from here 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Problems\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Why we govern trade in the way that we do 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Bargaining among unequals 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Talking trade 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Solutions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Thinking differently? 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Trade for all 132\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Getting from here to there 160\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: Moving beyond the state we are in 181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 188\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 211\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407334830360,"sku":"9780745672458","price":42.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745672458.jpg?v=1784162870","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/whats-wrong-with-the-wto-and-how-to-fix-it-hardback-9780745672458","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
