The World Trade Organization (WTO) aims to improve employment, income growth, and living standards for its member countries while promoting sustainable development. It has expanded its influence beyond traditional trade policies, impacting global governance. The WTO helps define the line between national policies and international commitments. Some see this as positive cooperation, while others view it as a threat to national sovereignty. The book discusses different perspectives on the WTO's role and suggests future policy directions for consistent global and national policies.
