The West - led by successive US administrations, the World Bank and
the IMF, and supported by phalanxes of development consultants -
has told developing countries for over twenty years that their
development depends on opening up their economies to world trade
and attracting foreign investment. The result - living standards
fall ever further behind those of the industrial countries and
inequality soars. Now the West has initiated, at the Doha meeting
of the WTO in late 2001, a new round of world trade negotiations.
There ought to be one central issue: how can the rules of the world
trading system be changed to foster the process of development
rather than, as at present, primarily benefiting the already
wealthy countries?Martin Khor offers a trenchant and wide-ranging
overview of the current world trading system. He puts forward
proposals for improving every major aspect of it and the WTO
Agreements that enshrine its rules. Demanding that the developed
countries live up to their own trade commitments, he outlines the
overall principles informing a world trade system that genuinely
fosters human development throughout the world.Here is a book whose
concrete and detailed proposals can act as a focal point around
which both developing countries and NGOs can organise their efforts
during the forthcoming new trade round. The aim must be to bring
about fundamental changes in the world trade system.
