A New Approach to Transparency and Accountability at the WTO
IISD's Mark Halle and Robert Wolfe examine an approach to measuring the accountability of the WTO to its outcomes, process, and members.
They discuss the transparency measures currently in place and suggest how these might be improved. Their policy brief, one of several research papers aimed at better integrating environmental aspects into international trade negotiations, was written in association with IISD's research partners at Environment and Trade in a World of Interdependence (ENTWINED).
