Korea in the GATT-WTO Dispute Settlement System: Legal Battle for Economic Development

Journal of International Economic Law, 2003, vol. 6, issue 3, 597-633

Abstract: Korea's economic development saga, which amazed economists and policymakers, has been filled with numerous trade disputes with its major trading partners. Despite the prevalence of such bilateral trade disputes, Korea had shown unequivocal resistance to resorting to the multilateral dispute settlement forum under the GATT system. Since the inception of the WTO, however, Korea has dramatically changed its attitude toward trade dispute settlement. The Korean experience of trade dispute settlement, therefore, seems a salient example of how the newly augmented system under the WTO is perceived and how it has been effectively utilized by average WTO Member countries in order to address international trade problems.
