A World Trade Organization for the 21st Century

Edited by Richard Baldwin, Masahiro Kawai () and Ganeshan Wignaraja

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The global financial crisis exposed great shortcomings in the global economic architecture, generating extensive international debate about possible remedies for these deficiencies. The postwar global architecture was guided by major developed economies, centered around the IMF, the GATT, and the World Bank. Today, the balance of economic power is shifting toward emerging economies. Global governance and economic policy must reflect this shift. With contributions from prominent Asian and international trade experts, this book critically examines key changes occurring in the world trading system and explores policy implications for Asia.
