CPD Working Paper 66
Current WTO Negotiations under Doha Round
Insights from CPD’s Geneva Tracking Mission
The paper is the output of a Tracking Mission to Geneva by the senior CPD researchers. The paper makes an analysis of the state of play of negotiations at the WTO under the Doha Round as of March 2008. It takes stock of the emerging trends of negotiations in various areas, such as agriculture, NAMA, General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), aid for trade, Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), etc., and seeks to project the possible outcomes. An attempt is also made to situate the interests and concerns of Bangladesh and other LDCs in this context.
