Revitalising Multilateralism: Pragmatic Ideas for the New WTO Director-General

Edited by Simon Evenett and Richard Baldwin

in CEPR Press Books from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: In the midst of profound contemporary shifts and shocks facing humankind, a quarter of a century after its creation the WTO is evidently not where pressing trade problems are being solved. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as a lens, this eBook offers insights into the underlying choices faced by WTO members and offers pragmatic suggestions for a WTO work programme over the next three years.
