1. The development of the WTO appears to be stalemated and the
dispute settlement system is in crisis. If you were appointed Secretary
General of the WTO what would you recommend for the development of
the world trading system? Write a briefing memorandum from this
perspective of the problems facing the WTO and any likely solutions.
2. The GATT is characterised by a large number of defence provisions.
How effective are these and what problems do they pose for the Treaty?
3. Non-discrimination is the most central provision of the WTO
agreements. However, the GATT and other treaties recognise the EU and
allow Member States to negotiate treaties that liberalise rules between
the state parties. What challenges does this pose for the system? Does it
limit the effectiveness of the WTO?
4. Take any other topic in international economic law that you would
like to write a paper on. Let me know what this so that we can agree a
suitable title for you to write a paper on.
