The Uruguay Round is the most important multilateral trade negotiation since the GATT was founded over 40 years ago. Alan Oxley provides an insider's view of the back rooms of international trade negotiations and reveals the full drama of those negotiations. He demonstrates the renewed influence and international authority of GATT. He also shows the importance of a successful outcome for the future of the world's economy and argues for the necessity of pursuing further trade liberalization. Success is essential: to develop market economies in Eastern Europe; to prevent the formation of trade blocs; to end agricultural trade wars; to encourage efficiency in international business; to maximise future global growth; and to encompass the revolutionary impact of trade in services. This is designed as a complete, jargon-free guide to GATT and the Uruguay Round, aimed especially at the business executive, analyst, diplomat, academic and student who wants to understand international trade issues.
