Governments need the latest data to take informed decisions and to determine the best direction of trade policy for the benefit of the people they represent. The WTO’s data-gathering role plays a big part in meeting this need.”

World Trade Report 2019 The Future of Services Trade

Services have become the most dynamic component of global trade, with an increasingly important role in the global economy and in everyday life. Yet the extent of the contribution of services to global trade is not always fully appreciated. The World Trade Report 2019 attempts to remedy this, making use of a new dataset developed by the WTO that captures the various ways in which services are supplied across borders.

The World Trade Report is an annual publication that aims to deepen understanding about trends in trade, trade policy issues and the multilateral trading system.

CHF 50.World Trade Report 2019 : The Future of Services Trade ISBN 9789287047724 Rapport sur le commerce mondial 2019 : L’avenir du commerce des services ISBN 9789287047731 Informe sobre el Comercio Mundial 2019 : El futuro del comercio de servicios ISBN 9789287047748

The Report examines how trade in services has evolved in recent years and looks at why services trade matters. Major trends affecting trade in services, including demographic changes, digital technologies, rising incomes and climate change, are reviewed. The Report also estimates how services trade may evolve over the next 20 years and the prospects for enhancing international cooperation on services trade policy.

Trade costs for services are higher than those for goods but these costs are falling, largely due to the impact of digital technologies, the Report finds. It highlights how declining trade costs are expected to expand the share of services in global trade and how this could contribute to more inclusive growth and development. If economies are to reap the benefits of the growing role of services trade, international cooperation will need to intensify.

The Case of the WTO’s TBT/SPS Agreements and Committees The WTO plays an important role in supporting efforts to achieve international regulatory cooperation and to facilitate trade. This publication highlights how the WTO’s Agreements on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) and on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) and the work of their related Committees promote opportunities for regulatory cooperation among governments and ease trade frictions. It demonstrates how members’ notification of draft measures, harmonisation of measures with international standards, discussion of specific trade concerns and other practices help to facilitate global trade in goods. The study also makes recommendations on how to benefit further from the transparency and cooperation opportunities provided by the TBT and SPS Agreements.

The publication focuses on four constraints faced by the extremely poor – namely that they tend to live in rural areas, work in the informal sector, live in fragile and conflict – affected regions and face gender inequality.

The case studies underline the challenges the extremely poor face and identify ways to overcome them, including through the adoption of policies that maximize the contribution of trade to poverty reduction. The studies also highlight the ongoing gaps in data and research that constrain policy-making.

Can Blockchain Revolutionize International Trade?

Written by Emmanuelle Ganne Watch the video

Trade has always been shaped by technological innovation.

In recent times, a new technology – Blockchain – has been greeted by many as the next big game-changer. This publication explores the question of whether Blockchain may revolutionize international trade.

Opening with an explanation of the technology, the publication goes on to analyse the relevance of this technology for international trade by reviewing how it is currently used and how it may potentially be used in the various areas covered

by WTO rules. In doing so, it offers insights into the extent to which this technology could affect cross-border trade in goods and services and in intellectual property rights.

International trade in goods has increased phenomenally since the establishment of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1947, largely due to efforts by the world’s leading traders to reduce and eliminate tariffs multilaterally. This publication reviews how the procedures and practices relating to tariff negotiations and renegotiations have evolved over the past seven decades, highlighting some of the major developments since the first edition of this book was published in 1999.

New developments highlighted in this edition include the successful conclusion of negotiations to expand the dutyfree coverage of the Information Technology Agreement and the tariff renegotiations necessitated by the successive enlargements of the European Union. In addition, the publication covers the tariff negotiations regarding the accessions of new members to the WTO, such as China and Russia.

World Trade Report 2018 The Future of World Trade: How Digital Technologies are Transforming Global Commerce The World Trade Report 2018 examines how digital technologies – and in particular the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, 3D printing and Blockchain – affect trade costs, the nature of what is traded and the composition of trade. The Report discusses the opportunities arising from the development of digital technologies, in particular for developing countries and smaller firms, but also the challenges.

It also examines how international trade cooperation can help governments both seize these opportunities and address the challenges.

Making Globalization More Inclusive Lessons from Experience with Adjustment Policies Edited by Marc Bacchetta, Emmanuel Milet and Jose-Antonio Monteiro

Recent research shows that although trade and technological advances yield important benefits for economies overall, some workers and regions can be negatively affected. Policies aimed at helping workers adjust to the impact of trade or technological changes can provide a helping hand to the workforce and increase the benefits of open trade and new technologies. This publication contributes to the discussion on how governments can help make international trade more inclusive and ensure that the benefits of open trade are spread more widely. It responds to the growing demand from policy-makers for further research on adjustment policies, building on previous WTO work on the labour market effects of trade.

Trade Adjustment in Asia Past Experiences and Lessons Learned Edited by Marc Bacchetta and Matthias Helble

This publication aims to provide new insights on adjustment to trade by examining both how firms and how labor markets adjust to trade. A better understanding of how firms adjust can help us understand how workers are affected by trade.

Firms have different margins of adjustment, and depending on which of those margins they use in reaction to trade shocks, workers will be affected differently. The publication shows that there is much to learn from the Asian experience.

Promoting gender equality and empowering women are critical to achieving the goals of reducing extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. Inclusive trade is a critical component to achieving gender parity. It creates more job opportunities for women, with higher wages and better working conditions. This publication is the result of a joint research partnership between the WTO and the World Bank.

The publication provides analyses of data from a gender perspective to better understand how trade and gender are linked and whether men and women are disproportionately affected by trade policies and their implementation.

A Handbook on Accession to the WTO

Second Edition

2nd Edition A Handbook on Accession to the WTO was first published by CUP in 2008, covering 23 accessions concluded between 1995 and 2007. Since then, 13 more accessions have been concluded. While the procedures governing the WTO accession process remain largely unchanged, the second edition of the Handbook incorporates the substance of commitments undertaken in the newly completed accessions.

It also updates the basic rules and discussions pertaining to WTO accessions, including the General Council Decision of 2012 on Accession of Least-Developed Countries.

In addition, the new Handbook contains a new chapter on transparency in WTO accessions and updates elements which have been enhanced in the management of WTO accessions, such as technical assistance and training for acceding governments.

‘The accession process is important for many reasons and yet it is among the least studied and understood parts of the trading system.

Thus, the WTO Secretariat is to be commended for sponsoring this project. The Handbook will be especially useful for government officials and the private sector of applicant countries who need to understand the arcane accession process. The Handbook will also help to stimulate new scholarship on accession.’ Journal of World Trade Review, reviewing the first edition

International trade has long served as a vital conduit for the transfer of technological knowledge and for the dissemination of cultural works. This trade originally took place predominantly through the knowledge content embedded in physical goods, but is increasingly defined by transactions that directly licence intangible intellectual property rights and by related trade in services. Content industries such as the music, audio-visual, publishing and software businesses are more likely today to ‘sell’ their digital products as bundles of IP rights than they are to sell physical copies of these products.

Growing recognition of the value and impact of the knowledge component of trade was a key factor in the conclusion, some 25 years ago, of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) within the framework of the WTO. However, contemporary policy makers confront an entirely new set of challenges integrating TRIPS measures into trade policies that respond to a digitally transformed knowledge economy; these challenges extend to the basic capacity to measure and to map the IP dimension of trade.

This book aims to establish an authoritative basis for more clearly mapping the contemporary economic, legal and policy trends that are shaping trade in knowledge. A broad-based, selective group of internationally renowned economists, lawyers and policy analysts systematically review the current literature on the economic, legal and policy landscape for trade in knowledge and provide an integrated overview, grounded in empirical learning. They examine how to map knowledge flows across borders and how to assess the impact of these flows, and on that basis chart the consequent legal, economic and policy dimensions.

Competition Policy and Intellectual Property in Today’s Global Economy Edited by Robert D. Anderson, Nuno Pires De Carvalho and Antony Taubman

The publication does not confine itself to a specific definition of Eurasia. Instead, it looks at the region holistically, from both economic and trade angles, with the aim of focusing on the most relevant features of its regional and multilateral trading systems.

Trade Policy and Gender This publication provides a detailed analysis of genderresponsive trade policies that WTO members have put into place in the last 30 years. It looks at how trade policy can support wage equality, turn unpaid work into formal employment and promote equal access to food. It looks at the development aspects of trade and gender, including the role played by the Aid for Trade initiative. The book explores the contribution of women entrepreneurs to economic growth and their participation in world trade. It looks in particular at sectors such as agriculture, with a focus on women’s economic empowerment. Finally, the publication explores the rise of women in skilled labour markets and the role of new technologies in promoting women’s entrepreneurship.

Dr Marceau is also Associate Professor at the Law Faculty of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and has published extensively on WTO matters.

WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION

Marceau

How did a treaty that emerged in the aftermath of the Second World War, and barely survived its early years, evolve into one of the most influential organisations in international law? This unique book brings together original contributions from an unprecedented number of eminent current and former GATT and WTO staff members, including many current and former Appellate Body members, to trace the history of law and lawyers in the GATT/WTO and explore how the nature of legal work has evolved over the institution’s sixty-year history. In doing so, it paints a fascinating portrait of the development of the rule of law in the multilateral trading system, and allows some of the most important personalities in GATT and WTO history to share their stories and reflect on the WTO’s remarkable journey from a ‘provisionally applied treaty’ to an international organisation defined by its commitment to the rule of law.

Global Value Chains in a Changing World

Trade Patterns and Global Value Chains in East Asia

A Literature Review

From Trade in Goods to Trade in Tasks

Global value chains (GVCs) have become ubiquitous. They are more studied and talked about than ever before. The many manifestations of international production sharing investment, development and international economic cooperation more generally.

GVCs are at the economic heart of globalisation. Policies of governments are central to outcomes, influencing the establishment, configuration and operation of GVCs in numerous ways. Technological possibilities and firm behaviour are also crucial determinants of what happens in the supply chain world.

Supply Chain Perspectives and Issues

Supply Chain Perspectives and Issues

The literature that attempts to understand and explain GVCs is vast, multi-disciplinary and no less complex than the phenomenon itself. This volume is an ambitious attempt at a fairly comprehensive review of literature on the subject. While extensive, to claim it is comprehensive and the last word would be like saying that GVCs hold no more mystery and never change.

Park, Nayyar & Low

Efforts to understand the dimensions of GVCs have spread across disciplines. This volume is the product of a dialogue with policy makers in the Asian region, where economists, political scientists, management specialists, development thinkers and business executives joined together in an exploration of the multiple dimensions of supply chains, what drives them, how they operate, how they adapt in a rapidly changing world, and what they mean for development and for policy.

Elms and Low (eds)

Global value chains (GVC) are a major driving force of globalisation. They are an inevitable outgrowth of the application of transformative information and transport technologies, combined with new business models and largely open borders. The GVC phenomenon promotes integration on multiple levels. Today’s international production systems confound traditional ways of looking at investment, production, finance, information systems and technology. These can no longer be seen as separate, meriting distinct attention and discrete policy treatment. The international fragmentation of production has generated the opposite of fragmentation – a complex networked system of production and consumption with innumerable moving, interactive parts.

Information Technology Agreement

Trade, innovation and global production networks

The Information and Technology Agreement (ITA) was finalized at the first WTO Ministerial Conference, in Singapore, in 1996, committing its participants to completely eliminate duties on certain information technology products. In its 15 years, the ITA has promoted affordable access to a wide range of technologies, encouraging closer cooperation between developed and developing countries. As production networks become increasingly global, the ITA will continue to facilitate the shift from products made in a specific country to “made in the world”.

To mark the 15th anniversary of the ITA, this publication charts the political and technical obstacles which were overcome during the creation of the Agreement and the issues which still need to be resolved. It details the establishment of the ITA Committee and how the Agreement is implemented, and investigates the impact the ITA has had on trade liberalization and innovation. The publication also examines the effect information technology has had on global production networks and what this means for developing countries and the ITA.

Personal Insights from the Uruguay Round Negotiations

The Making of the TRIPS Agreement presents for the first time the diverse personal accounts of the negotiators of this unique trade agreement. Their rich contributions illustrate how different policy perspectives and trade interests were accommodated in the final text, and map the shifting alliances that transcended conventional boundaries between developed and developing countries, with a close look at issues such as copyright for software, patents on medicines and the appropriate scope of protection of geographical indications. Contributors share their views on how intellectual property fitted into the overall Uruguay Round, the political and economic considerations driving TRIPS negotiations, the role of non-state actors, the sources of the substantive and procedural standards that were built into the TRIPS Agreement, and future issues in the area of intellectual property.

In probing how negotiations led to an enduring agreement that has served as a framework for policy-making in many countries, the contributions offer lessons for current and future negotiators. The contributors highlight the enabling effect of a clear negotiating agenda, and underscore the important, but distinct, roles of the Chair, of the Secretariat and above all, of the negotiators themselves.

WTO Domestic Regulation and Services Trade

WTO Domestic Regulation and Services Trade

Domestic regulation of services sectors has a significant impact on services trade liberalization, which is why General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) disciplines are negotiated in the WTO. With the help of analyses and case studies from academics, regulators and trade experts, this book explores the scope and limits of WTO legal principles to promote domestic regulatory reform. Case studies discuss country-specific challenges and experiences of regulating important service sectors, such as finance, telecommunications, distribution, legal, education, health, postal and logistics services, as well as the role of regulatory impact assessments. The findings will interest trade officials, policy-makers, regulators, think tanks and businesses concerned with the implications of domestic regulation on access to services markets, and with the opportunities for formulating trade disciplines in this area. It is also a useful resource for academics and students researching regulatory approaches and practices in services sectors.

Case Studies Presented by WTO Chair-Holders

Integration into global value chains can make industrialization in developing countries easier to achieve. Upgrading to higher-value tasks within these supply chains can support further growth. But competitive advantage can be lost more easily, and achieving such upgrading can be challenging.

Higher prices for agricultural goods and natural resources have helped some developing countries achieve strong growth. But higher prices can cause strains for net importers of these goods.

Growing interdependence within the global economy allows countries to benefit more quickly from growth in other parts of the world. But it can also cause challenges as crises can be quickly transmitted across borders.

Many developing countries still have a long way to go in addressing their development challenges. The multilateral trading system provides developing countries, and particularly least-developed countries, with unique opportunities to do so. Further progress in the Post-Bali Agenda would therefore be important to making trade work more effectively for development.

Connecting to Global Markets Challenges and Opportunities: Case Studies Presented by WTO Chair-Holders

WorldConnecting Trade to global markets Report 2014

Challenges and opportunities: case studies presented by WTO chair-holders

Trade and development: recent decades, trade flows have become recent trends Inincreasingly and the role global, with developing countries and of the WTO emerging economies playing an ever-expanding role.

However, these countries face a number of constraints in connecting to global markets. To obtain a better understanding of these constraints, the WTO invited the members of its academic network in developing countries – the WTO Chairs Programme – to identify major challenges in their respective countries and suggest ways to overcome them. In response, the WTO chair-holders contributed a set of papers to the WTO’s Annual Conference of the Chairs Programme and to the Global Review of Aid for Trade in July 2013.

This volume brings together these contributions from the 14 WTO chair-holders. It is divided into four sections, focusing on export diversification, the role of non-tariff measures, the rule of law in connecting to global markets, and the role of the Aid for Trade initiative in building trade capacity and overcoming supply side constraints.

The contributions provide some powerful arguments in support of using trade policy instruments as an engine for growth and provide valuable insights into how developing countries can increasingly integrate into the multilateral trading system.

High trade costs inhibit the trade integration of numerous developing economies, slowing their economic growth and development prospects. Furthermore, these costs tend to weigh heaviest on the poorest economies, on the smallest firms and on trade in agricultural products. This publication calls for concerted action through the Aid for Trade Initiative to reduce these trade costs and contribute to achieving the emerging post-2015 development agenda.

TRADE AND EMPLOYMENT CHALLENGES FOR POLICY RESEARCH

On the basis of an overview of the existing academic literature, the study provides an impartial view of what can be said, and with what degree of confidence, on the relationship between trade and employment, an often contentious issue of public debate. Its focus is on the connections between trade policies, and labour and social policies and it will be useful for all those who are interested in this debate: academics and policy-makers, workers and employers, trade and labour specialists.

This study is the outcome of collaborative research between the Secretariat of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Labour Office (ILO). It addresses an issue that is of concern to both organizations: the relationship between trade and employment.

GLOBALIZATION AND INFORMAL JOBS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

This study focuses on the relationship between trade and the growth of the informal economy in developing countries. Based on existing academic literature, complemented with new empirical research by the ILO and the WTO, the study discusses how trade reform affects different aspects of the informal economy. It also examines how high rates of informal employment diminish the scope for developing countries to translate trade openness into sustainable long-term growth.

World trade has expanded significantly in recent years, making a major contribution to global growth. Economic growth has not led to a corresponding improvement in working conditions and living standards for many workers. In developing countries, job creation has largely taken place in the informal economy, where around 60 per cent of workers are employed. Most of the workers in the informal economy have almost no job security, low incomes and no social protection, with limited opportunities to benefit from globalization.

Trade policy analysis

Economic and political institutions along with the interplay of cultural customs among countries all help to shape international cooperation, including in the trade field. The future of trade will also be affected by the extent to which politics and policies successfully address issues of growing social concern, such as the availability of jobs and persistent income inequality. These and other factors are all examined in the World Trade Report 2013.

The Future of Trade: The Challenges of Convergence

World Trade Report 2013

One of the most significant drivers of change is technology. Not only have revolutions in transport and communications transformed our world but new developments, such as 3D printing, and the continuing spread of information technology will continue to do so. Trade and foreign direct investment, together with a greater geographical spread of income growth and opportunity, will integrate a growing number of countries into more extensive international exchange. Higher incomes and larger populations will put new strains on both renewable and non-renewable resources, calling for careful resource management.

Environmental issues will also call for increasing attention.

The world is changing with extraordinary rapidity, driven by many influences, including shifts in production and consumption patterns, continuing technological innovation, new ways of doing business and, of course, policy. The World Trade Report 2013 focuses on how trade is both a cause and an effect of change and looks into the factors shaping the future of world trade.

Monitoring the trade policies and practices of WTO members is a fundamentally important activity of the WTO. All WTO members are reviewed at regular intervals, according to their share of world trade. Each Trade Policy Review consists of three parts: a report by the government under review, a report written independently by the WTO Secretariat, and the concluding remarks by the Chair of the Trade Policy Review Body. A highlights section provides an overview of key trade facts.

Expanding World Trade and Strengthening WTO Rules

Page 1

World Trade Organization What have WTO accessions contributed to the rules-based multilateral trading system? What demands have been made by original WTO members on acceding governments? How have the acceding governments fared? This volume of essays offers critical readings on how WTO accession negotiations have expanded the reach of the multilateral trading system not only geographically but also conceptually, clarifying disciplines and pointing the way to their further strengthening in future negotiations. Members who have acceded since the WTO was established now account for 20 per cent of total WTO membership. In the age of globalization there is an increased need for a universal system of trade rules. Accession negotiations have been used by governments as an instrument for domestic reforms, and one lesson from the accession process is that there are contexts which lead multilateral trade negotiations to successful outcomes even in the complex and multi-polar 21st-century economic environment.
