The Uruguay Round, perhaps the most ambitious programme of worldwide negotiations ever attempted on any economic subject, lasted over seven years from 1986 to 1994. 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. This book traces the history and evolution of the Uruguay Round. It seeks to explain, in an accessible and non-technical way, how the Uruguay Round came about, why it covered the subjects it did, what the participants sought, and the twists, turns, setbacks and successes in each sector of the negotiation.

There are growing pressures to reform the international trading system beyond whatever is accomplished in the Uruguay Round. This study assesses the present GATT system and concludes that the need for further reform is far-reaching. Whalley finds that the principles underlying the current system - nondiscrimination and multilateralism - will not adequately serve in the future to reduce trade barriers and promote the benefits of trade. The study outlines new approaches to reduce the level of protection and harness new regional trading arrangements to improve global economic performance.
