DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Mshomba provides a systematic study of Africa as it relates to the World Trade Organization. He examines the WTO's enforcement mechanism; the WTO's broadened mandate, illustrated by the Agreement on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights; agriculture in the Doha Round; issues relating to transparency in government procurement; and the endeavor to streamline assistance to developing countries through an 'Aid for Trade' initiative. The author integrates theory and practice, with a clear presentation of important economic concepts. He provides a rigorous analysis of key issues and proposals. He presents African countries as having an important role to play in the WTO, especially as they actively engage in bargaining through various coalitions. Mshomba acknowledges that WTO negotiations will always be complex and at times contentious due to wide economic and political differences between countries. He views the differences, however, as creating opportunities for a mutually beneficial exchange of goods, services and ideas.

Keeping markets open and predictable, as well as fostering a more generally favourable business environment, will be critical to spur renewed investment in Africa and support the continent's economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. This report looks at efforts to help African countries build capacity and to take fuller advantage of the benefits that trade brings. It examines various activities and projects the WTO is implementing in the continent, including in the areas of trade facilitation, compliance with sanitary and phytosanitary regulations, and capacity building for trade and production. The report also looks into projects aimed at mainstreaming trade into the national development strategies of African countries. International cooperation, a multilaterally coordinated response to the COVID-19 crisis and a reinvigorated multilateral trading system have the potential to lessen the effects of the pandemic and bolster Africa's economic growth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In the context of a growing scholarly and practitioner interest in African affairs, this book provides the first comprehensive examination of the Africa Group in the World Trade Organization (WTO) in particular, and in the governance of international trade in general. Donna Lee explores in detail the role and influence of the Africa Group in the WTO over the last decade, tracing the emergence of the African countries as major protagonists in the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) and the Africa Group’s relations with the major powers and other coalitions in the WTO. The chapters cover the negotiations of the key issues for the Africa Group in the DDA, including: the Cotton Initiative international sugar trade implementation agriculture non-agricultural market access (NAMA) services negotiations Special and Differential Treatment (SDT) measures. Revealing an active Africa Group and exploring the diplomatic strategies African members employ to influence WTO deliberations, the chapters also show the limitations of African agency and the profound inequalities in the existing international trade system. Africa in the World Trade Organisationwill be of interest to students and scholars of African studies, international economics and politics and international relations in general.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is primarily a textbook for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students of law. However, practising lawyers and policy-makers who are looking for an introduction to WTO law will also find it invaluable. The book covers both the institutional and substantive law of the WTO. While the treatment of the law is often quite detailed, the main aim of this textbook is to make clear the basic principles and underlying logic of WTO law and the world trading system. Each section contains questions and assignments, to allow students to assess their understanding and develop useful practical skills. At the end of each chapter there is a helpful summary, as well as an exercise on specific, true-to-life international trade problems.

It describes the economic context of trade standards in these countries, and examines the mechanisms by which standards and regulations are established and revised at local and international levels.
