WTO Accessions and Trade Multilateralism
Ministère du Commerce Extérieur, Rabat
OCP Policy Center is pleased to receive Dr. Chiedu Osakwe, Director of accessions at the WTO and Dr. Uri Dadush, Senior Fellow at OCP Policy Center to present their book on: 'WTO Accessions and Trade Multilateralism Case Studies and Lessons from the WTO at Twenty'
This book offers critical readings on WTO accession negotiations and how they expanded the reach of the multilateral trading system at different levels. Accession negotiations have been used by governments as an instrument for domestic reforms, and one lesson from the accession process is that there are contexts which lead multilateral trade negotiations to successful outcomes even in the complex and multi-polar twenty-first century economic environment.
Through their presentations, speakers will questions what WTO accessions have contributed to the rules-based multilateral trading system.
