In recent years the relationships between trade and the environment
and trade and development have become increasingly complex. The
need to reconcile the competing demands of economic growth,
economic development, and environmental protection has become
central to the multi-lateral trade agenda. In this volume various
commentators debate the role of the World Trade Organization and
other institutions in addressing these challenges. The book arises
from the papers presented at two High Level Symposia hosted by the
World Trade Organization in March 1999, on "Trade and the
Environment" and "Trade and Development". The first section of the
work focuses on the relationship between trade and the environment.
The issues addressed include the need for WTO members to pursue
integrated trade and environmental policies in order to achieve
sustainable development, ways in which the removal of trade
restrictions and distortions can lead to positive environmental and
development solutions, the relationship between WTO provisions and
trade measures contained in environmental agreements, and the need
for transparency and effective interaction between civil society
and the trade community. The second section examines the growing
importance of developing countries in the global trading system
over the last 30 years, and the ways in which the inequalities
which persist between countries may be addressed. The papers
include discussion of the need for integration of the
least-developed countries into the multilateral trading system, the
ways in which international institutions may work together to
realize the objective of development, the complex role of trade
liberalization in development, and the importance of new
technologies in accelerating integration between developing and
developed countries.
