Panel Discussion: Reflections on the World Trade Organization in the Context of Economic Globalization

Grant Aldonas, Martin Wolf, Seiichi Kondo, Paul Blustein, Keith Rockwell, John Jackson

 

 

MR. ALDONAS: This last panel is focused on the major themes of the conference, which I will try to summarize relatively quickly as a prelude to what I think will be the more interesting part of the discussion, namely, how does all that we have discussed in the last two days fit within the broader context of the economic process of globalization?

We have a terrific panel. Once I go through the themes, I am going to turn to Martin Wolf of The Financial Times, to talk about the process of globalization and his perspective after being with us over the past two days. From there we will go to Paul Blustein of The Brookings Institution, a terrific author on international and economic matters. He will review these issues in the context of American politics. Then we will turn to Ambassador Kondo to discuss how these issues play out in the context of the most economically dynamic region in the world today, Asia. After that we will ask the public face of the WTO, Keith Rockwell, to give us his perspective on how the organization is responding to the challenges that have been outlined, both in terms of the dispute settlement process and in the negotiations. We will also hear a little bit about how the WTO, as an organization, responds to the challenge of getting its message across in terms of what trade liberalization can do. Then we are going to ask our mentor, Professor John H. Jackson, to wrap up with some reflections on the process, what the process of globalization means and its effect on dispute settlement going forward.
