The World Trade Organization: Theory and Practice
回顾了WTO和GATT的设计目的及相关理论与实证文献的最新进展,描述了其架构和历史渊源,并指出了现有文献中尚未解决的关键问题。
We consider the purpose and design of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and review recent developments in the relevant theoretical and empirical literature. We describe the GATT/WTO architecture and briefly trace its historical antecedents. We suggest that the existing literature provides a useful framework for understanding and interpreting central features of the design and practice of the GATT/WTO, and we identify key unresolved issues.
