The November 2001 Declaration of the Fourth Ministerial Conference of the WTO in Doha, Quatar, has launched the Doha Development Round of multilateral trade negotiations in the WTo on 21 topics aimed at far-reaching reforms of the world trading system. On August 1st 2004, the WTO General Council reached agreement on a detailed Doha Work program with the aim of concluding negotiations in 2006.This volume provides discussion and policy recommendations by leading WTO negotiators and policy-makers, and analysis by leading economists, political scientists and trade lawyers on the major subjects of the Doha Round negotiations.

Review :
`What all readers will find, however, is some excellent normative analysis of the WTO as currently constituted...Overall, this book is a very valuable, if somewhat theoretically limited, contribution to the body of literature on the WTO. All scholars with an interest in the WTO and its works will find much to inform and stimulate them between its covers.' Prof Fiona Macmillan, International trade and law regulation, vol 12:2,
