This book provides readers with a unique opportunity to explore how
the international economic legal order (IELO) may look in a
post-WTO world. The substance of this book presupposes (whether
correct or not) that the WTO either: (a) Stagnates into the
foreseeable future (Doha withers, no new Rounds, at best minor
amendments, little new jurisprudence, effective collapse of the
DSB); or (b) Falls apart completely. While neither is desirable,
the book underlines that it must be conceded that neither is
inconceivable. The collapse of the Soviet Union tells us that
anything is possible (in 1986 no one foresaw the end of the Cold
War - clearly it was a much more significant event than would be
the case for the demise of the WTO and the current international
economic legal order (IELO)). Similarly, just a year or two before
Brexit or the election of US President Donald Trump, no one foresaw
those two eventualities. Consequently, a worst-case scenario for
the future of the WTO cannot be ignored - rather, it must be
explored, as has been done in this book. Indeed, despite most IEL
academics' commitment to multilateralism and specifically to a
vibrant and dynamic WTO, academics in the field are now beginning
to seriously discuss what a post-WTO world could look like (and it
was the project behind this book that first launched those
discussions). Accordingly, this examination of the post-WTO world
will be of great value to practitioners, governmental and
international officials and scholars in the IELO. This is
particularly so in an era of increasingly rapid change, during
which legal scholarship must also address the future if it wants to
contribute creative solutions to the resolution and management of
the many serious contemporary problems facing our field.
