About the WTO

Description :

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 benefits for increased global trade. These disparate issues are organized into sub-themes of: global governance, coherence, economic growth, and sustainable development. More specific 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.
