Doha Development Round: Why did it fail?

Viac o knihe

The book delves into the prolonged negotiations of the Doha Development Agenda, which began in 2001 but has seen minimal progress, particularly in trade liberalization for agriculture and services. It questions the legitimacy of labeling the round as a "Development Round," given the lack of benefits for developing countries. The analysis focuses on the reasons behind the stalled negotiations, examining issues such as tariff cuts, agricultural subsidies, and the failure to meet deadlines, while exploring potential solutions to overcome these challenges.
