International rules of trade among nations are established by an international organization known as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and these rules have a profound impact on individual producers and consumers all over the world. This article outlines the dispute settlement mechanism the WTO uses to resolve complaints by member States about trade violations of other member States. The 1947 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), signed in Geneva, had several purposes, including the promotion of international trade and deterring restraints on trade by such means tariffs or internal taxes on foreign imports. The first dispute resolution process required by the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU) is consultation between disputing membe...
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is a significant institution that was created in 1947 to promote international trade by reducing trade barriers among the 23 member countries who originally signed the treaty. Its successor, the World Trade Organization, has grown in membership to 125 nations. This has reflected its success in facilitating multilateral tariff liberalization and its importance for the global economy. A theoretical interpretation of GATT and its main features is therefore attempted.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicted in its latest World Economic Outlook that China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy as early as 2016. IMF economists believe the Chinese economy would by then reach $19 trillion, compared to a U.S. economy of just $18.8 trillion. This was seized as proof of superiority of the Chinese model of state-led capitalism and the end of American economic dominance. Don't believe it. It's a bad idea to draw such an expansive conclusion from a single number. Long-term economic forecasts, especially linear predictions such as the IMF's, are notoriously inaccurate. Five years is a long time, and there are indications that China is in the midst of an unsustainable bubble.

The world learned at least one lesson from the Great Depression. Despite today's economic gloom which has spread from the United States to Europe and now Asia, no major player has moved to introduce protectionist policies or impose capital controls on a large scale. That's a good thing, considering the trade war sparked by the infamous Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. This measure raised U.S. tariffs on 20,000 goods to record levels and triggered retaliatory tariffs by our trading partners. Countries also imposed nontariff barriers, like quotas, to keep imports out. The net result was that the Great Depression was prolonged and intensified as nations closed their borders, shrinking international trade by a third between 1929 and 1932.
