"This book is in response to the many misinformed, often exaggerated arguments leveled against the WTO. Kent Jones explains in detail the compelling reasons for the WTO's existence and why it is a force for progress toward economic and noneconomic goals worldwide. Jones debunks some of the most outrageous allegations against the WTO and argues that global standards for environmental protection and human rights belong in separate agreements, not the WTO. Developing countries need more trade, not less, and even more important, they need a system of rules that gives them - the smaller, weaker, and more vulnerable players in world trade - the best possible chance of pursuing their trade interests among the larger and more powerful developed countries."--BOOK JACKET
