Opis

The Doha Development Agenda held the promise of substantial gains for developing countries. However, the realisation of these gains is far from obvious, as the interests of various groups of countries differ greatly and technical complexities have hampered further progress since the very start of the negotiations. Against the background of the agenda of the present trade negotiations of the World Trade Organization and its slow progress, this book outlines the positions of the main players.
