Abstract
In previous chapters I have noted how the decision of many developing countries to integrate themselves more fully into the world trading system led several of them to join GATT in the 1980s and later the WTO. There is no way of making the rules of the international system benefit a country’s interest, unless the country is a member of and, as will be stressed in Chapter 8, is effectively represented in the WTO.
