The Doha Development Round of the WTO Negotiations: A Possible Future Direction

The Doha Development Round of the World Trade Organization (WTO), which was launched in 2001, represented a ‘window of opportunity’ for the developing countries to inject elements of development into the multilateral trading system. But from the beginning, its negotiations have been characterized by persistent differences among the United States, the European Union, and the developing countries on major issues, such as agriculture, industrial tariffs and non-tariff barriers, services, and trade remedies. This paper provides a summary of the state of negotiations and seeks to describe the underlying sources of its impasse. It also tries to predict the future trajectory of the Doha Round with a special reference to the forthcoming Ninth Ministerial Conference to be held in December 2013.
