Reflections
from the Frontline: Developing Country Negotiators in the WTO
The
publication gives a substantive account of the evolution of
the WTO Doha Development Agenda (DDA) negotiations and the
role of developing country coalitions and alliances. The
reflections are those of the former and current developing
country negotiators based on their first-hand experience of
WTO negotiations, particularly on the development dimension.
They have described the progress including developments at key
moments like the WTO Ministerial Conference in Cancun (2003)
and Hong Kong (2005); and have drawn lessons from negotiating
strategies and tactics applied to-date by developing
countries. |
