The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) was created in 1919 by business leaders who described themselves as 'merchants of peace' and whose motto was 'world peace through world trade'. Since then a number of initiatives, including the founding of the WTO in 1995, have provided the proper regulatory conditions for a dramatic increase in world trade. This has generated unprecedented growth and allowed many countries to enjoy great gains in wealth and welfare. Yet despite these gains we are still far from achieving the ICC's goal of world peace through world trade. This 2010 book provides a broad overview of the forces that shape international trade and global interdependence, showing business leaders and entrepreneurs how we can address the shortcomings of the multilateral trading system. Most importantly, it shows how we can turn international trade into one of the key global instruments to achieve peace and prosperity in the twenty-first century.

There is a great deal of misunderstanding and confusion about what the World Trade Organization (WTO) is, what it does, and how it works. The misconceptions, myths and fallacies about the WTO are numerous, but the author focuses on a few key questions central to the legitimacy of the WTO. Who and what is the WTO - what is its fundamental mission? Are the decisions made by WTO dispute settlement bodies arbitrary, unfair and lacking in democratic accountability? Does the WTO infringe on the sovereignty of national governments? What is the role of developing countries, and the least developed among them, in the world trading system? What can be done to improve the public image of the WTO and to make it more accountable to its constituents? The author, a former senior negotiator for Canada in the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations and the first Director of the WTO Appellate Body Secretariat, provides answers to this difficult questions in clear and simple terms by describing the history and purpose of the WTO as well as its future challenges.

Smith asserts that proper banking structure can stop an economic collapse in its tracks. It can also rapidly industrialize undeveloped regions of the world, reduce the workweek, and eliminate world poverty in 10 years.

In this reflection, the author observes that “peace and prosperity through trade” was the basic objective on which the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was founded and it remains the fundamental raison d'être of the WTO today. Emerging from World War II, world leaders had a great vision: to build an international system that would create economic growth and prosperity thereby securing and maintaining peace. Today, we are faced with monumental problems of poverty, terrorism and war, as well as the challenges caused by globalization. Multilateralism and international cooperation, today as in the past, are essential to maintaining and guaranteeing peace. What are the challenges facing the multilateral trading system? They are: the increasing dissonance between developed and developing country Members of the WTO, the dispute settlement system - storm clouds on the horizon, governance of the WTO, rapidly increasing regionalism, and legitimacy concerns. In the author's view, the stakes are high and the choices are clear - the multilateral trading system is in trouble and the Members need to fix it.
