Críticas:

A fine critique of the past and a good roadmap for the future.--Sam Gibbons, chairman of Gibbons & Company and former member of Congress and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee

Extraordinarily timely... a very rich source of fresh expertise for everybody interested in the origin, the consequences, the trade-offs, and the options for the multilateral trading system after the shock of Seattle.--Rolf J. Langhammer, vice president, Kiel Institute of World Economics "Weltwirtschaftliches Archiv "

Reseña del editor:

The failure of the Seattle trade ministerial in December 1999 to launch a new round of multilateral trade negotiations dealt a major blow to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The Seattle meetings exposed significant policy differences among the WTO member countries as well as shortcomings in the way the WTO conducts its business and interacts with other international and nongovernmental organizations. The WTO after Seattle analyzes the problems and challenges facing the trading system in the aftermath of the Seattle ministerial. Leading trade experts examine why it is in the interests of both developed and developing countries to reengage in new trade talks, and how such talks could promote world trade and economic development, reform WTO operations, and strengthen public support for the trading system.

The volume presents balanced perspectives on world trade problems by authors from the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, with recommendations on what needs to be done in key areas to launch new talks. The authors address the WTO's existing mandate to negotiate on agriculture and services, as well as how to handle new issues such as investment, competition policy, e-commerce, and trade-related environmental and labor issues. The editor, Jeffrey J. Schott, provides a comprehensive overview of the issues facing the WTO and of what needs to be done to begin a new round.
