Author Description

"Can the WTO be saved? Should it? As its standing has diminished, accepted international norms for trade relations have given way more and more to the law of the jungle. A new CEPR eBook by leading trade economists calls for the WTO to implement changes to revitalise and rebuild trust in the multilateral trade system, and re-align WTO members towards shared goals. The appointment of a new WTO Director-General affords an excellent opportunity to revisit the tenets of multilateral trade cooperation and implement changes for future crisis management. Chapters in this eBook present and analyse ideas of how this could be done."--Abstract
