This examination of the law in action of WTO dispute settlement takes a developing-country perspective.

Providing a bottom-up assessment of the challenges, experiences and strategies of individual developing countries, it assesses what these countries have done and can do to build the capacity to deploy and shape the WTO legal system, as well as the daunting challenges that they face. Chapters address developing countries of varying size and wealth, including China, India, Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, South Africa, Egypt, Kenya and Bangladesh. Building from empirical work by leading academics and practitioners, this book provides a much needed understanding of how the WTO dispute settlement system actually operates behind the scenes for developing countries.

  • Provides an in-depth empirical assessment of how the WTO dispute settlement system works in practice for developing countries, including the mechanisms and processes they have deployed in order to make use of the system
  • Explores the impact of the WTO legal system on government, business and civil society in the rising economic powers of China, Brazil, India and South Africa, including the various challenges they continue to face
  • Examines the severe challenges that smaller developing countries face in making use of the WTO legal system, including Bangladesh, Egypt and Kenya, and advances specific strategies for consideration
