Flexibilities for developing countries in the Doha round as á la carte special and differential treatment : retracing the Uruguay steps? [Separata] /

The current tensions within the WTO have many external and internal causes, such as the global crisis, changes in the global power balance, and the revival of North-South conflict, mostly after the Cancun Ministerial and the creation of the G-20.

520 |a The current tensions within the WTO have many external and internal causes, such as the global crisis, changes in the global power balance, and the revival of North-South conflict, mostly after the Cancun Ministerial and the creation of the G-20. The WTO, to a large extent, reflects those changes, mainly given that it is the most transparent of all multilateral organizations, and it is also the most accountable to its members. However, the WTO is only the canary in the coal mine that announces the lack of oxygen: it shows how multilateral organizations are obsolete in this current transition phase towards a new global scenario. In fact, developing countries have blocked many developed countries’ initiatives in the WTO, by considering them unlike to response to their development interests. Countries such as Brazil and India have been increasingly expanding their roles as process drivers in the international level, while the differentiation within the group of developing countries increases. In this context, discussions around flexibilities for developing countries in the WTO are still valid, whether we call them Special and Differential Treatment (S&DT), less than full reciprocity, whether they are discussed in specialized committees or in the Committee of Trade and Development. The goal of this paper is twofold: in one hand, to look for answers about how the S&DT has been approached in the Doha Development Agenda; on the other hand, to identify how middle income developing countries actively participating in coalitions have positioned themselves in order to search for new flexibilities they see as necessary in the multilateral trading system from their development perspective.
