Description
Summary:The WTO is facing an unprecedented crisis, one which threatens to critically erode its relevance & destabilize global trade. Some member states have become increasingly distrustful of other WTO members, invoking trade-restrictive measures in the name of economic security. Petros C. Mavroidis provides insight into current international trade, national security, & environmental challenges facing the world community, of which the World Trade Organization (WTO) is at the epicentre. Even if the WTO overcame its current crisis, its adjudication branch is insufficiently equipped to address the aforementioned challenges & the WTO contract itself is in dire need of updating. Yet, as Mavroidis argues, ensuring the survival of the WTO is crucial for rebuilding the trust of the global trading community. In this direction, Mavroidis offers concrete proposals toward improving the function of the WTO & reigniting global collaboration.
