Can the World Trade Organization remain central to modern trade governance?
Recommendation
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is losing its position as the center of global trade governance. Without its leadership, regional trade agreements have taken over. Many “formerly dominant” nations are concerned that current global trade rules largely benefit emerging economies, but developing countries insist that poverty and food security should remain top priorities. The World Economic Forum presents a strong argument for a return to WTO centrality. getAbstract recommends this nuanced, multidimensional report to government and corporate policy-makers.
