The extent to which globalisation has grown and the trend towards liberalisation in many developing countries, has turned the whole world into one large marketplace. In such a scenario, manufacturers have to know that they will get their raw material in time, exporters have to be confident that their goods will be paid for and importers satisfied that the goods they have ordered will not be sub-standard but exactly to their specifications. In this context, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) has a very important role to play. It oversees the working of the various trade agreements conducted by groups of countries, by countries bilaterally and by regions. Knowledge of these trade agreements is necessary for the businessman to plan his business strategies.
This book explains the rationale behind the WTO, its role in international trade, and the way it administers the large volume of business that is conducted on a global level and ensures smooth functioning and prevents bottlenecks.
The chapters of this book include:
· Trading Systems: An Introduction
· International Trade in Goods
· International Trade in Services

· Global Trading System and International Business Strategy
· Developing Countries and the WTO
· Developing Countries in World Trade

This book will not only be good course material but also a reference volume for students of commerce and economics, administrators, policy makers and businessmen.
