We need a world trade organization. We just don't need the one that we
have. By pitching unequally matched states together in chaotic bouts
of negotiating the global trade governance of today offers - and has
consistently offered - developed countries more of the economic
opportunities they already have and developing countries very little
of what they desperately need. This is an unsustainable state of
affairs to which the blockages in the Doha round provide ample
testimony. So far only piecemeal solutions have been offered to refine
this flawed system. Radical proposals that seek to fundamentally alter
trade governance or reorient its purposes around more socially
progressive and egalitarian goals are thin on the ground. Yet we
eschew deeper reform at our peril. In What's Wrong with the World
Trade Organization and How to Fix It Rorden Wilkinson argues that
without global institutions fit for purpose, we cannot hope for the
kind of fine global economic management that can put an end to major
crises or promote development-for-all. Charting a different path he
shows how the WTO can be transformed into an institution and a form of
trade governance that fulfils its real potential and serves the needs
of all.
