Abstract
Globalization creates a demand for international rule-making, and the WTO remains the forum for creating binding and enforceable international trade rules. The WTO therefore needs an effective decision-making system capable of resolving diverging interests. Although scholars, policymakers, and activists have long debated the relationship between trade agreement and trade norms, in truth we know very little about this relationship. And in this area the author’s scientific work aims to provide society with greater insights into the relationship between trade agreement, trade convention and international trade (WTO) rules.
