The end of the 20th century will mark the beginning of a new era
for the world trading system. More than 130 member countries of the
World Trade Organization (WTO) will begin negotiations in 1999 on a
broad range of subjects, including agriculture, services,
intellectual property, and trade and the environment. The authors
in this volume analyze the key issues that should be on the agenda
of new WTO negotiations to meet the challenges generated by the
Asian financial crisis, concerns about the impact of globalization
on firms and workers, and the proliferation of regional trading
pacts. They present a compelling case for comprehensive trade talks
that include new issues such as investment and competition policy,
in addition to subjects already part of the WTO's built-in agenda.
The overview chapter by Jeffrey J. Schott examines the work of the
WTO since its establishment in January 1995 (including its dispute
settlement mechanism) and the key challenges facing new trade
talks. In addition, Schott proposes a new negotiating strategy to
produce concrete results without the lengthy delays of past trade
talks. He recommends that governments commit to continuous
negotiations in Geneva and use the regularly scheduled meetings of
trade ministers to conclude a balanced "round-up" of agreements
every two years. An appendix contains statements made by WTO
Director General Renato Ruggiero and US Trade Representative
Charlene Barshefsky on the importance of WTO negotiations and the
key US objectives in pursuing those talks.
