If ever there existed a benign-sounding organisation, it is surely
the World Trade Organisation. The WTO is the successor to GATT.
According to the WTO itself, its mission is "dealing with the rules
of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, the
legal ground-rules for international commerce and for trade policy.
The agreements have three main objectives: to help trade flow as
freely as possible; to achieve further liberalisation gradually
through negotiation; and to set up an impartial means of settling
disputes". This book seeks to illuminate some key issues related to
the WTO as well as present a detailed bibliography for future

Trade In The Asian Pacific Region
The term El Nino (Spanish for "the Christ Child") was originally
used by fishermen along the coasts of Ecuador and Peru to refer to
a warm ocean current that typically appears around Christmastime
and lasts for several months. Fish are less abundant during these
warm intervals, yet in some years, however, the water is especially
warm and the break in the fishing season persists into May or even
June. El Nino also brings heavy rains. During the past 40 years,
nine El Ninos have affected the South American coast. Most of them
raised water temperatures not only along the coast, but also at the
Galapagos islands and in a belt stretching 5000 miles across the
equatorial Pacific. The weaker events raised sea temperatures only
by one to two degrees Fahrenheit, but the strong ones, like the El
Nino of 1982-83, left an imprint, not only upon the local weather
and marine life, but also on climatic conditions around the globe.
