Abstract

In this paper, we look at the GATT/WTO framework and examine the extent to which it has served the interests of the developing countries. The scope of WTO is much broader than that of the GATT. The WTO covers a number of areas which were outside the purview of the GATT. Our survey indicates that reforms are badly needed so that the interests of the developing countries can be served better.
