Abstract
The World Trade Organization or WTO is a relatively new body created in 1995 and one which its founders probably never expected to create the massive controversy that it has generated. It has come to represent globalization, and how one views it tends to reflect how one views the massive corporate expansion of the last few decades. This paper examines the WTO and considers whether it is really a tool working towards world harmony and trade accords that promote global equity or if it is just another example of consolidation of power by global elites to the exclusion of the poor majority.

Abstract
This paper looks at the World Trade Organization, or WTO and debates whether or not the WTO has a positive effect on the world. The author takes the position that one needs a place to take disputes and set regulations for the international economy.
From the Paper
"The World Trade Organization, which was created in 1995, was the biggest reform of international trade since 1948. During the previous years, international commerce had been organized under GATT, which established a multilateral trading system. However, by the 1980s major restructuring was needed. The Uruguay Round brought about that overhaul. It was the largest trade negotiation ever."

Abstract
This paper discusses the World Trade Organization. The WTO is the most influential body regarding trade, trade relationships, and trade disputes in the world. While the US is obviously one of its leading members, it has not been the dominant force in this organization that it has in other major international organizations. Although only organized since 1995, the WTO also has its roots in the post World War II era.
From the Paper
"The WTO is the follow-on organization to GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) that guided international trade since the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 attempted to form the International Trade Organization (Condon, 2002). While the ITO was never successful due primarily to US lobbying, GATT guided world trade matters until the Uruguay Round in 1995 created the..."

Abstract
This paper examines how China has been changing economically while trying to hold on to as much of the Communist system as possible, a delicate balancing act that raises the suspicions of much of the world while also creating a good deal of internal uncertainty. The paper points out that this is part of a modernization effort being carried forth not only by those within China or by her trading partners, but also by Chinese living abroad who wish to increase business for the home country or to develop China in a wide variety of fields, including the scientific, financial, artistic, tourism, and other fields. The paper maintains that part of this effort involves China joining the World Trade Organization (WTO). Both the possibility of China joining and the organization itself were the subjects of massive protests in this era of increasing globalization and remain so. The paper concludes that China's attempt to gain benefits while retaining autonomy in certain matters is a balancing act that cannot be maintained for long without political change.

Introduction
The WTO
China and the WTO
Theoretical Implications
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Chinese take the view that America is only harboring ill feelings about the emergence of a stronger and more prosperous China, and they believe that Washington's policy toward Taiwan is designed to obstruct China's reunification. They say that the Americans want to stop Chinese arms sales that are merely for commercial purposes while at the same time they are selling more sophisticated fighters and missiles to the unyielding Taiwanese. They also believe that the Americans use the human rights issue as a weapon to interfere in China's domestic affairs and undermine the Chinese government and note that the U.S. government created obstacles to China's entry into the WTO with the intention to weaken China economically, which has an effect domestically and internationally at the same time: "As the Chinese are sustaining their economic growth and rapidly improving their standard of living, their national pride is certain to arise" (Jisi 45)."

World Trade Organization, 2004.
This paper is an overview of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
2,507 words (approx. 10.0 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 76.95

Abstract
This paper explores the history, structure, and function of the WTO. It explains how the World Trade Organization is the most recent result of international efforts to reduce barriers to trade. The writer shows how it is an institution in which membership is voluntary, but it is also an organization with legal status.
From the Paper
"However, as this statement makes evident, there are exceptions to the rule, and just because a member state does not agree with an amendment or new ruling, this does not necessarily mean that it will be forced to drop out of the WTO. It is membership in the WTO that gives it its legal power. So, to summarize: the rulings of the WTO are not legally binding in that they do not affect the sovereignty of nations to make their own rulings. However, membership is contingent on the acceptance of WTO rulings and policies, and as a member, rulings that override domestic policy can be legally binding."

How Effective is the World Trade Organization?, 2005.
A review of the World Trade Organization in relation to environmental issues.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 6 sources, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the idea that the effectiveness of the World Trade Organization (WTO) depends on what we mean by effective. For example, does this mean how effective has it been in promoting the interests of trade, or how effective has it been in promoting the interests of the ordinary people of the world, or of big business, or of government, or of the environment? This paper proves the point that trade cannot be, and should not be, separated from environmental issues.
From the Paper
"To determine the effectiveness of the World Trade Organization (WTO), we first need to determine what we mean by "effective." For example, are we looking at how effective the WTO has been in promoting the interests of trade? Or how effective it has been in promoting the interests of the ordinary people of the world, or of big business, government, or the environment? If we go back to the original mandate of the WTO, it might seem that the only relevant criterion is whether it has been effective in promoting global trade. But even this question is not straightforward, as there are many stakeholders in global trade, including common citizens, big business, and governments."

Abstract
This report outlines three separate news articles which detail the September 10th, 2003 World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting in Cancun, Mexico. The articles, from Europe, North America and Asia, provide different glimpses and aspects of that one day. The paper notes that all three writers agree on their distrust towards the WTO, and are negative regarding outcomes from the meeting. Each article is discussed in-depth.
From the Paper
"On Wednesday, September 10th of 2003, a World Trade Organization meeting occurred in Cancun, Mexico to discuss issues of trade and tourism. Cancun is a popular tourist resort. Three separate articles from around the globe, namely Europe, North America and Asia, recorded this event from varying details. Around the world, there is a prevailing sense of disillusionment and distrust towards the WTO, at least as expressed via these three articles. Of the three, there was not one that held a positive view towards the Cancun meeting, a fact which is made even more significant by the vastness of subject matter relating to this event. One article takes the reader through the.."

From the Paper
"Although the World Trade Organization (WTO) is in the news frequently, its actual roles and functions are misunderstood by many in the business and political arenas. It is considered to have both more and less influence by its supporters and critics alike than it actual possesses, yet it exists as a palpable and critical force in international commerce today. Its role as an international financial institution is influenced by its role as a political force and its decisions and policies..."

Double Standards of the World Trade Organization, 2004.
Looks at how the rules designed by the World Trade Organization to govern international trade are biased against poor nations.

Abstract
This paper explores the World Trade Organization's bias against the poor and how it almost exclusively favors the rich. The paper also looks at how the major players in the WTO system do not abide by the very rules that they have created.
From the Paper
"The recent Cancun round of negotiations within the WTO, regarding especially agricultural subsidies, showed that finally the developing countries starting with giants such as India and Brazil, preponderantly agricultural countries with significant contribution to world trade, backed up by China, could finally make a common point and a stand still against the European Union and the United Stated. The strange and somewhat revolting point of discussion is that, while boasting liberalization and free trade, the EU and the United States spent an approximated $300 billion in subsidies, almost all of them going to agriculture. Isn?t a subsidy a way to ignore the free trade boasted as the main program by the WTO? Of course, you do not use taxes to raise imported goods prices, but you follow a reverse pattern and use subsidies to lower national goods prices and make them more competitive on the foreign market."

Outline:
Executive Summary
Analysis
Free trade & The Doha Development Round
Advantages for the LDCs
Disadvantages for the LDCs
Liberalization and LDCs
Reduction of Export Subsidies and Ricardian Theory
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In conditions of free trade, the least-developed countries and the developing ones, countries that import most of their food would be highly disadvantaged. Trade liberalization of agricultural products could lead to a growth in food prices, affecting the poorer countries. A solution to this problem could be offered by special aid programs regarding food, assistance to improve the productivity and subsidies for imports. "
"The impact of the liberalization of agriculture runs 3 different ways: prices for farm products grow, the producer's surpluses are lowered and the consumers gain. Even if this seems like a win-win situation, things are different for LDCs and developing countries. Several studies have shown that the indicator of welfare depends directly on producer's surpluses, and not on consumer's gain. This conclusion throws a dark light upon the LDCs as they have yet to develop their agrarian sector and cannot deprive themselves of the surpluses. But if they don't, they do not participate fairly to world trade. It is a bad circle. "

China?s Accession to the World Trade Organization, 2004.
This paper discusses that the People's Republic of China becoming a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) has a great impact upon its development and the entire world.

Abstract
This paper, presenting an extensive history of China, explains that, due to its historical isolation from and suspicion of foreign influence, its long acquaintance with communist economic structures, and a general preference for protectionism, China has developed a highly protectionist trade policy that will present problems for its participation in the WTO. The paper points out that China's accession to the WTO may result in adjustment problems with unemployment and redistribution of wealth, potentially causing further social and political problems. The paper lists several important areas through which China?s WTO accession may have a major impact upon the other economies of East Asia, including increased access by other regional players to China?s domestic market, improved overall competitiveness among these countries, competition with China for business in third markets, changes in investment patterns, and transparency and predictability of trade policy.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"China does not yet have an independent legal and court system. The legal system must be modernized to handle today?s wide variety of commercial disputes, to protect legal contracts and to combat corruption wherever it is found. When this happens, it may be possible to create the groundwork for an independent judiciary. Then the rule of law may come to be extended. Only then will the central bureaucracy be reformed and the administration of justice be consolidated."
