After a decade of negotiations, there are few signs that the long-running Doha round of global trade talks will be finalised soon. Looking forward, trade officials now openly speak about a so-called “plan B” involving salvaging non-divisive issues from the current round and agreeing upon those as a stand-alone agreement. This event will investigate the key factors shaping the future world trading system.

Is leaving the Doha Development Agenda in abeyance and the WTO in isolation the best policy strategy in the current economic environment? Isn’t one of the central lessons of the recent financial and economic crisis that multilateral cooperation and responsive international institutions and regulatory settings, are central to economic recovery and future stability? In this context, this session will debate the relevance and importance of bringing early closure to the DDA.
