Abstract

The World Trade Organization has aroused interest and raised controversial questions. It attracts the attention both of champions of globalization and apologists for sovereignty and the nation state. The debate has triggered much discussion. It relates to a multiplicity of disciplines (including economics, international law, sociology, political science and philosophy).

The present book, consisting of two volumes, seeks to offer its readers targeted analyses of key issues of the WTO system which constitute the core of the Doha Round.

Volume 1 of this book deals with policies and legal issues. It contains chapters analyzing the Doha Agenda and the negotiations on world trade, as well as chapters submitting proposals for reforming the WTO as a global trading system. The last three chapters of Volume 1 examine how WTO law relates to other rules of international law.
