E-Book 2017: The Future of the WTO and the WTO of the future (English/French)
The purpose of this initiative is to make a contribution for LIDCs and LDCs on how to adapt to the post-Nairobi situation and the changing international trade environment. Contributors are experts and specialists from academia, think tanks and private sector from the South and from the North.
Those think pieces aim at feeding in the global brainstorming that all WTO members and other stakeholders have been invited to conduct regarding the future of the multilateral trading system.
