Negotiation Dynamics of the WTO
Author: Mohan Kumar
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 981108842X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
The book aims at informing and educating the public at large about the intricacies of the Negotiation Dynamics at the WTO. It traces the period from the launch of the Uruguay Round in 1986 to its conclusion at Marrakesh in 1994 and the subsequent entry into force of the WTO on 1 January 1995. The book shows how WTO Ministerial Conference in Seattle was doomed to fail and its failure led to “trust deficit” between the developed countries on the one hand and certain key developing and least-developed countries on the other. Thus tracing the WTO saga that began in the wake of the failure at Seattle and the difficult path that led to the launch of a new Round at Doha in November 2001. The book throws light on India’s domestic decision-making structure as well as some of the factors driving India’s negotiating stance at the WTO. It also describes the current impasse at the WTO and offers some ideas to revive an institution that is so crucial for the smooth functioning of the multilateral trading system.

Reciprocity in the FTAA: the roles of market access, institutions and negotiating capacity (Working Paper SITI = Documento de Trabajo IECI n. 2)
Author: Julio J. Nogués
Publisher: BID-INTAL
ISBN: 9507381554
Category : Free ports and zones
Languages : en
Pages : 47
Book Description
The benefits of the FTAA to Latin American countries will materialize through two channels: improved access to the region's markets, and enhanced growth prospects through the strengthening of basic economic institutions. Furthermore, the importance of these negotiations is heightened by the fact that they are taking place against the failure of the Uruguay Round to liberalize agricultural trade, and the lack of progress in the ongoing negotiations of the Doha Round, Under these conditions, for Latin American countries who are net exporters of different bundles of agricultural products, the FTAA could be the best opportunity for accelerating growth in the region. The analysis includes a discussion of these issues stressing the fact that in order for the reciprocical exchange of concessions agreed in the FTAA to result in an important liberalization of intra-regional trade, Latin American countries will have to negotiate with greater firmness than in the past.

A Handbook of Research on Global Peace Governance and the Sustainable Development of Economies
Author: Unmana Sarangi
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527529452
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This volume brings together research related to the attainment of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in various economies with a focus on the development of their respective macro indicators, such as global peace, governance, and justice, economic systems, and the role of various international organizations in developing new economic partnerships to attain SDGs. The book analyzes the effect of mega-regionals as part of the trade regime complex from the perspective of international non-domination, and shows that international justice suffers from institutional fragmentation because of its structural characteristics which enable stronger economies, countries, and states to dominate weaker ones. It shows that that the institutions that govern the global economy and their policies are biased against developing countries and have contributed to the persistence of international inequalities.

Transnational Food Security
Author: Emily Webster
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000051374
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Transnational Food Security addresses food security from an international relations, political economy and legal perspective analysing the relationship between food security and the environment and climate change, trade, finance and contracts, and the intersection between food and human rights. The topic of food concerns one of the most basic and profound aspects of human survival. Universal and equal access to food is, at the same time, ridden with problems of power, inequality, distribution and implicated in old and new geopolitical conflicts. As such, ‘food’ and food security are central to conditions of poverty and hunger, development and ‘modernisation’, transitional justice and rule of law reform around the world. As a problem of critique and scholarly inquiry, food prompts an inter-disciplinary assessment of the nature of food security in the modern world. The contributors to this book take us deep into the complexity of food and illustrate the challenges of adequately understanding and approaching questions of food security and food sovereignty in a globally interconnected world. Transnational Food Security will be of great interest to scholars of international relations, political economy, and transnational law. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Transnational Legal Theory Journal.

The Poorer Nations
Author: Vijay Prashad
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1781684871
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
In The Darker Nations, Vijay Prashad provided an intellectual history of the Third World and traced the rise and fall of the Non-Aligned Movement. With The Poorer Nations, Prashad takes up the story where he left off. Since the '70s, the countries of the Global South have struggled to build political movements. Prashad analyzes the failures of neoliberalism, as well as the rise of the BRICS countries, the World Social Forum, issue-based movements like Via Campesina, the Latin American revolutionary revival-in short, efforts to create alternatives to the neoliberal project advanced militarily by the US and its allies and economically by the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, and other instruments of the powerful. Just as The Darker Nations asserted that the Third World was a project, not a place, The Poorer Nations sees the Global South as a term that properly refers not to geographical space but to a concatenation of protests against neoliberalism. In his foreword to the book, former Secretary-General of the United Nations Boutros Boutros-Ghali writes that Prashad "has helped open the vista on complex events that preceded today's global situation and standoff." The Poorer Nations looks to the future while revising our sense of the past.

Global Justice and International Economic Law
Author: Frank J. Garcia
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107355419
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
For centuries, international trade has been seen as essential to the wealth and power of nations. More recently we have started to understand its problematic role as an engine of distributive justice. In this compelling book Frank J. Garcia proposes a new way to evaluate, construct and manage international trade - one that is based on norms of economic justice, comparative advantage and national interest. Garcia examines three ways to conceptualize the problem of trade and global justice, drawn from Rawlsian liberalism, communitarianism and consent theory. These approaches illustrate specific issues of importance to the way global justice has been theorized, offering a pluralistic mode of arguing for global justice and highlighting the unique modes of discourse we employ when engaging with global justice and their implications for conceptualizing and arguing the problem. Garcia suggests a new direction for trade agreements built around truly consensual trade negotiations and the kind of international economic system they would structure.
