Abstract:
The Doha 'Development' Round of trade negotiations at the WTO
has featured agricultural trade liberalisation as one of its key aims. But
developing countries were frustrated with both the process and the content of the
agricultural agreement negotiations early on in the round. This prompted these
countries, through a number of developing country groupings such as the G-20
and others, to call for changes in the talks to ensure that developing country
voices and concerns were heard. Although developing countries were in many
ways successful in registering their concerns in the latter half of the
negotiations, and have maintained a fairly high degree of cohesion across the
Global South, it remains unclear whether this cohesion will last as the uneven
impacts of agricultural trade liberalisation become apparent.
