WTO FORUM

What future for the emerging economies in the WTO?

Since the end of the 20th century emerging countries like China, India and Brazil have seen their influence increased on the global stage. This geopolitical shift, particularly meaningful in the area of world trade, has been accelerated by the financial and economic crisis. How significant is the rise of emerging economies to the global trading system and the WTO? H.E. Ambassador Roberto Azevedo, Permanent Representative of Brazil to the WTO, and Yong Wang, Professor at the School of International Studies at Beijing's Peking University, discuss this issue with Keith Rockwell, WTO Spokesperson.

This debate was recorded on the sidelines of the WTO Public Forum 2010.
