Policy Research Working Paper 5897
ABSTRACT
The World Trade Organization has been until recently an effective framework for cooperation because it has
continually adapted to changing economic realities. The current Doha Agenda is an aberration because it does
not reflect one of the largest shifts in the international economic and trading system: the rise of China.
Although China will have a stake in maintaining trade openness, an initiative that builds on but redefines the
Doha Agenda would anchor China more fully in the multilateral trading system. Such an initiative would
have two pillars. The first is a new negotiating agenda that would include the major issues of interest to China
and its trading partners, and thus unleash the powerful reciprocal liberalization mechanism that has driven
the World Trade Organization process to previous successes. The second is new restraints on bilateralism
and regionalism that would help preserve incentives for maintaining the current broadly non-discriminatory
trading order.
