The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which started in 1948, was replaced by the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 1 January 1995, according to the Marrakesh Agreement, which was signed by 123 countries on 15 April 1994. It is the world's largest international economic organization. By providing a framework for trade agreement negotiations and a dispute resolution procedure to enforce participants' adherence to WTO agreements, which are signed by representatives of member governments and ratified by their parliaments, the WTO regulates trade in goods, services, and intellectual property between participating countries. Most of the WTO's current concerns stem from earlier trade discussions, particularly the Uruguay Round (1986-1994). The current book is the outcome of extensive research on the World Trade Organization. This book continues the author's past writings on the current WTO developments, focusing on the politics of regional trading blocs. The discussion of the WTO topic shows the growing consensus on the coexistence of politics and economics. Thus, the book reveals the flaws and inequities in the WTO system and highlights the crucial decisions that the WTO's member countries must make in upcoming negotiations| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
