The first scholarly attempt at a comprehensive analysis of a crucial area of international trade law and institutions, this volume provides critical insights into the role played by developing countries in the GATT\/WTO committees. It explores how the developing countries have shaped and been shaped by the committees on anti-dumping, textiles, agriculture, and trade and environment, and suggests how these countries can further improve their participation. In doing so, the book challenges established assumptions about how the developing countries have engaged with the developed countries and with one another under the umbrella of the multilateral trading system.","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990509240549,"sku":"NP9781405116787","price":113.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405116787.jpg?v=1761788113","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/world-trade-governance-and-developing-countries-isbn-9781405116787","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
