This book gives a substantive account of the evolution of the WTO Doha Development Agenda (DDA) Negotiations and the role of developing country coalitions and alliances. The reflections are those of former and current developing country negotiators on their firsthand experience of WTO negoatiations. They have explained the mandate for these negotiations, particularly the development dimension; have described the progress including developments at key moments like the WTO Ministerial Conferaences in Cancun (2003) and Hong Kong (2005); and have drawn lessons from negotiating strategies and tactics applied to-date by developing countries.

The book is divided into three parts.
Part I provides an overview, giving insights on how negotiations on trade and econoamic relations are conducted in the multialateral trading system as well as the key points of DDA substantive negotiations and main developing country alliances and coaliations. Part II covers the negotiating experiaence on specific subjects in the Doha Round including cross-cutting issues. Finally, Part III deals with coalition building efforts by developing countries and the impact of these coalitions on the negotiations.

The sixteen chapters included in the publication give a rich resume of increasing and more effective developing country participation in the WTO. Authors have brought to fore the twists and turns of the decade long Doha Round, often based on their own experience and perspectives. Such intimate insights are rarely found in the existing literature on the WTO negotiaations. Authors have also offered suggestions to unlock the stalemate in the DDA and reach a balanced and development-friendly conclusion.ISBN 9788171889266
