New Topics in Trade negotiations of the World Trade Organization

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Since the conclusion of the Uruguay Round, several new issues have emerged on the agenda of trade negotiations within the World Trade Organization (WTO). This paper discusses the most prominent among these which are electronic commerce, trade and environment, trade facilitation, transparency in government procurement, trade and investment, trade and competition policy, climate change, micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and women and trade. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the negotiation processes related to each of these topics. Particular attention is given to the fact that negotiations on trade facilitation resulted in the adoption of a binding agreement, whereas issues such as trade and investment and trade and competition policy are no longer subject to active negotiation. The analysis highlights the main debates and policy discussions surrounding each of these themes, underscoring their implications for the future evolution of the multilateral trading system.
