The success of the Uruguay Round has defined the shape of the world trading system for the next generation. The agreements reached have set in place a new World Trade Organization and new rules for trade and economic development worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the years ahead.

The study outlines new approaches to reduce the level of protection and harness new regional trading arrangements to improve global economic performance.
