WTO RULES AND PROCEDURES AND THEIR
IMPLICATION FOR THE KYOTO PROTOCOL
INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT - TRADE
NEGOTIATIONS IN THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION POWER POLITICS IN THE WTO(Focus on the Global South, 2002) According to this publication, the WTO prides itself for being a 'rules-based' organization. Without its rules, we are told that world trade will descend into the anarchy of the jungle. This publication reveals a different reality. Behind the veneer of trade 'rules', anti-democratic processes are used in WTO negotiations, as the powerful coerce developing countries into trade deals. The document draws on in-depth interviews with many developing country delegates to the WTO. Its first chapter provides accounts personally written by three delegates on their experience of the pressures and undemocratic processes they have encountered in the process of fighting for better positions in trade negotiations. This publication is available online at: http://www.focusweb.org/publications/Books/power-politics-in-the-WTO.pdf
