"Mike Moore's reflection on his time as Director-General of the World Trade Organization is an important addition to the great globalisation debate. Moore explains how a boy who left school at fourteen to work in a slaughterhouse came to head an organisation charged with bringing rules and order to the world's trading system. Arriving at the WTO shortly before the ill-fated Seattle meeting, Moore sought to reform the Organization, addressing the concerns of poorer countries and engaging in open debate with the often hostile nongovernmental organisations (NGOs). He successfully negotiated ten new members into the WTO, including the world's most populous nation, China, and he gives an insider's view of how these negotiations were navigated. He is proud that in November 2001, at the meeting in Doha, these nations promised their commitment to a new round of trade talks with a focus on development. Moore rebuts the attacks against the WTO, and argues that the WTO's promise of rules-based free trade offers the best hope for lifting millions of the world's poorest citizens out of poverty. A World Without Walls examines our interdependent world which is now just beginning to integrate, and offers refreshing perspectives on an emerging global civil society and the challenges of global and corporate governance."--BOOK JACKET.
