Developing Countries and the Multilateral Trade Regime: The Failure and Promise of the WTO's Development Mission

This book explores the way in which 'development' has functioned within the multilateral trade regime since de-colonization. In particular, it investigates the shift from early approaches to development under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) to current approaches to development under the World Trade Organization (WTO). The book argues that a focus on the creation and transformation of a scientific apparatus that links forms of knowledge about the so-called Third World with forms of power and intervention is crucial for understanding the six decades-long development enterprise of both the GATT and the WTO. The book is both topical and necessary given the emphasis on the current round of negotiations of the WTO. The Doha 'Development' Round has been premised on two assumptions. Firstly, that the international community has undertaken an unprecedented effort to address the imbalances of the multilateral trading regime with respect to the position of its developing country members. Secondly, that its successful conclusion represents an historic imperative and a political necessity for developing countries. Through a sustained analysis of the interaction between development thinking and trade practices, the book questions both assumptions by showing how development has always occupied a central position within the multilateral trading regime. Thus, rather than asking the question of what needs to be done in order to achieve development, the book examines the way in which development has operated and still operates to produce important, and often unacknowledged, power relations.Ã?Â?Ã?Â?
