Abstract
This volume is a call to action. It lays out proposals for a blueprint for reform of the WTO as an institution. Contributors focus on five critical areas: transparency, decision- and rule-making procedures, internal management structures, participation by nongovernmental organizations and civil society, and relationships with regional trade agreements. It explains why institutional reform of the WTO is needed and provides innovative, practical proposals for modernizing the WTO to enable it to respond to the challenges of the 21st century.
