"This book analyses the contemporary state of affairs at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and India's negotiating agenda at its various forums. The book identifies areas in the WTO agreements that require systematic reforms. It also discusses the negotiating history of GATT/WTO, especially after the conclusion of the WTO negotiations in 1995, while not overlooking the failures of the Seattle Ministerial and Doha negotiations. It delves into the rights and concerns of different interest-groups within the WTO."--BOOK JACKET.
