A norm of special treatment for LDCs, created by the UN, has spread to
various international organisations including the WTO. Within the WTO
evidence of the institutionalization of the norm can be found both in
the agreements and legal documents and the way in which the LDCs have
been treated by other states. Helen Hawthorne investigates how norms
impact on negotiations in international organisations. She shows that
few studies of international organisations focus on the role of the
weaker states in the organization, the majority focus either on the
major states or the emerging economies. By ignoring the role of the
poorer, weaker states in the GATT/WTO we are ignoring the history of
these states in the organisation and do not get a true picture of the
organization, how it operates in relation to them and their impact on
the organisation.
