<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Just what are all those protesters so upset about, anyway? This book is a quick, accurate, well-composed tome examining the effects of the WTO on developing countries' poverty, health care, natural resources, and human rights.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Many people are surprised when they first learn that trade is only a small element of the World Trade Organization, but the WTO actually covers a huge array of subjects never before included in trade agreements. The new agreements that were born with the WTO almost nine years ago included 800-plus pages of rules that interfere with food safety standards, environmental laws, social service polices, intellectual property standards, government procurement rules, and more.</p><p><i>Whose Trade Organization?</i> is the definitive guide to the reign of this undemocratic trade regime that has sparked protests from Seattle to Quebec to Genoa. With case-by-case studies, the book exposes the lopsided agreements and secret tribunals that are the tools of the WTO's trade, and reveals the aggressive corporate agenda at its core. This myth-busting guide explains cutting-edge conflicts over rainforest destruction, genetically modified foods, sweatshops, lifesaving drugs, and many other global issues. And it offers critical and timely prescriptions for challenging the WTO and building a public-centered, democratic alternative.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>No country can be allowed to resist American cultural imperialism.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lori Wallach is Director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, which was created in 1995 to promote government and corporate accountability in the globalization and trade arena. <p/>Patrick Woodall is Research Director at Global Trade Watch.
