The Uruguay Round trade agreement, recently ratified by Congress,
was the eighth in a series of negotiations under the auspices of
the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Like the
ratification proceddings, the negotiations were both contentious
and extended. In the end, they substantially changed the structure
of the GATT. From its traditional emphasis on reducing formal
barriers to trade in goods, the GATT has now moved to a broader
agenda of issues that will dominate in a more integrated world
economy. The new GATT encompasses a set of agreements governing
trade in goods, trade in services, the protection of intellectual
property rights, and new procedures for resolving trade disputes.
All of these measures are to be unified under a new institutional
structure, the World Trade Organization. In this book, the major
features of the new GATT are reviewed and assessed in terms of
their implications for the United States. The contributors are Alan
Deardorff, University of Michigan; Bernard Hoekman, the World Bank;
John Jackson, University of Michigan School of Law; and Tim
Josling, Food Research Institute, Stanford University. Susan M.
Collins is a senior fellow in the Economic Studies program at
Brookings and associate professor of economics at Georgetown
University. Barry P. Bosworth, a senior fellow at Brookings, is the
editor and author of numerous Brookings books, including The
Chilean Economy: Policy Lessons and Challenges (Brookings, 1994)
and Saving and Investment in a Global Economy (Brookings, 1993).
