Why the future of the World Trade Organisation looks bleak

The Independent  

With only the possible exception of the World Health Organisation, the World Trade Organisation is the most battered and friendless of the many international bodies that have found themselves out of favour in the recent backlash against globalisation and internationalism. The WTO, formerly known as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, was established as one of the pillars of …
