Developing countries in the world trading system: from GATT, 1947, to the third ministerial meeting of WTO, 1999

Article Abstract:

It is argued that outward orientation toward the global market in trade and investment remains a viable source of considerable economic growth for any state. Within this context, then, emerging nations must effectively participate in the World Trade Organization's forthcoming third ministerial conference in Seattle, WA, in Oct 1999, to ensure that their interests are well served. This conference will most likely introduce the next round of multilateral negotiations, and it features several issues upon which developing countries must clearly define their interests and fight for them.

The environment and international trade negotiations: open loops in the developing world

Article Abstract:

Environmental concerns in trade negotiations should be acceptable domestically and internationally. A purely incentive-based approach in sustainable development might lead to the development of two different markets that will have their own set of rules regarding the management of the environment. A good strategy for addressing these environmental concerns must include the participation of the authorities involved, the provision of incentives and a set of defined procedures to be followed.
