There is a fundamental shift taking
place in the world economy to which the multilateral trading
system has failed to adapt. The Doha process focused on
issues of limited significance while the burning issues of
the day were not even on the negotiating agenda. This paper
advances five propositions: (i) the traditional negotiating
dynamic, driven by private sector interests largely in the
rich countries, is running out of steam; (ii) the world
economy is moving broadly from conditions of relative
abundance to relative scarcity, and so economic security has
become a paramount concern for consumers, workers, and
ordinary citizens; (iii) international economic integration
can contribute to enhanced security; (iv) addressing these
new concerns - relating to food, energy, and economic
security - requires a wider agenda of multilateral
cooperation, involving not just the WTO but other
multilateral institutions; and (v) despite shifts in
economic power across countries, the commonality of
interests and scope for give-and-take on these new issues
make multilateral cooperation worth attempting. |
