The Wto after Hong Kong

After the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) critical December 2005 Hong Kong ministerial meeting, negotiations to implement the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) broke down completely in the summer of 2006. This book offers a detailed and critical evaluation of how and why the negotiations arrived at this point and what the future holds for the WTO. It brings together leading scholars in the field of trade from across the social sciences who address the key issues at stake, the principal players in the negotiations, the role of fairness and legitimacy in the Doha Round, and the prospects for the DDA's conclusion.This is the most comprehensive account of the current state of the World Trade Organisation and will be of enormous interest to students of trade politics, international organisations, development and international political economy.Lee, Donna is the author of 'The Wto after Hong Kong', published 2001 under ISBN 9780415432023 and ISBN 0415432022.
