WTO Dispute Discussion
As mentioned in your textbook, the World Trade Organization (Links to an external site.) (WTO) evolved from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (Links to an external site.)
(GATT). The WTO provides a “forum for trade-related negotiations” among
its members.” Nevertheless, it has been controversial since its
inception.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page until you reach the Dispute Cases involving your country. If there are no dispute cases, please select another country.
In a short essay, please discuss the following:
- Short overview of the WTO and your selected country.
- Brief description of the disputed issue.
- Brief summary of the Findings.
- In your opinion, was the WTO essential in the resolution of the
dispute or do you feel the dispute could have been resolved without the
WTO?
Your essay should be 300 – 400 words (about one page), not including references. Be sure to use current APA style when referencing content from either the textbook or outside sources.
