The collapse of the Doha Round hangs heavily over an already
troubled world economy. Some have concluded that this failure is
simply the result of a lack of political will and a pre-occupation
with issues such as terrorism. But as Kent Jones reveals in The
Doha Blues, the World Trade Organization needs serious structural
changes, not just political backbone. He shows for instance that
the WTO--now with 153 members--has become increasingly unwieldy in
terms of concluding trade agreements and he suggests that countries
organize around specific platform positions, a strategy that would
make the "holy grail" of consensus once again possible. Jones also
argues for financial support for poorer countries so that they can
participate effectively in negotiations and he contends that the
principle of the "single undertaking" (that "there is no agreement
until everything is agreed") has become a serious and perhaps
crippling constraint, and must be modified. Jones is a leading
authority on trade policy and his book illuminates the real
stumbling blocks to trade liberalization and highlights the way
around them.
