Enabling Developing Countries
Amrita Bahri
Chapter 1 provides a conceptual background on the WTO DSU participation benefits, the participation challenges that developing countries face at WTO DSU, and how these challenges can be overcome. In doing so, it outlines various capacity-building solutions that can be employed at the international and domestic levels, with a special focus on strategies that can be employed at the domestic level. The focus of this chapter is to provide an overview of how disputes can be handled effectively at the domestic level in order to improve the performance and participation of developing countries at WTO DSU.
Devising dispute settlement partnerships: ‘lessons learnt’
Enabling Developing Countries
Amrita Bahri
Deriving lessons from the dispute settlement experiences of the selected developed and developing countries discussed in the preceding chapters, Chapter 7 explores the possibilities of engaging the private sector in the intergovernmental process of dispute management, the elements required for government-industry coordination, the possible methods of coordination, and the reforms needed to ensure the predictability of the rules and procedures governing the reciprocal exchange of resources. In doing so, it outlines and examines the important issues and elements that should be considered by a developing country that is aspiring to enhance its dispute settlement capacity through the PPP approach.
