Realism, liberalism, values, and the World Trade Organization

Article Abstract:

The form of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is more important to its success than its actual membership or efforts to expand standing. Steve Charmovitz believes interest groups' participation is crucial for the future of the WTO, while Richard Shell advocates expanded WTO standing and participatory legalism. However, an institutional argument emphasizing form and global economic realities is more pertinent and theoretically sound than these visions of increased WTO membership.

Preliminary study appears to support the unexpected conclusion that the populace has easily accepted the transplanted law. This result and the likely interdependence of law and culture creates an imperative for further study.
