Abstract: Abstract Governments have spent most of the post-Second World War period building an open and liberal trading regime. Since the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, some governments have backslid, especially in the context of trade in food. Adjudication by dispute panels at the WTO has largely dismissed these justifications as illegitimate, raising concerns that consumers (and others) are disenfranchised. The result has been a loss of credibility for the WTO and sometimes its demonization.
