Post-MC11 Trade Agenda for the Least Developed Countries is a working paper by Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya, Professor Mustafizur Rahman and Anika Muzib Suchi, that focuses on how the tenets of the multilateralism at The World Trade Organization (WTO) is at stake. The prolonged deadlock of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA), the rise in various plurilateral (joint) initiatives, the weakening of the World Trade Organization’s (WTO’s) dispute settlement mechanism and the intensifying trade war between the world’s largest economies testify the claim.
Drawing on the negotiations and other developments that transpired in the run up to MC11 and thereafter, the paper underlines four core directions to be considered while giving shape to a revamped LDC agenda.
It is an International Trade Working Series publication by the Commonwealth Secretariat available at The Commonwealth iLibrary.
