The Wto After Seattle

"The WTO after Seattle", presented by the Institute for International Economics, analyzes the problems and challenges facing the World Trade Organization after the failure of the Seattle trade ministerial in December 1999. The volume presents balanced perspectives on world trade problems by authors from the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, with recommendations on what needs to be done in key areas to launch new talks.

Jeffrey J. Schott, senior fellow, was a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (1982-83) and an international economist at the US Treasury (1974-82)
