Has globalization gone too far? Do we need any further trade liberalization? Should the new round be launched at the WTO's Fourth Ministerial Conference in November in Doha? Would the developing countries lose from further liberalization? How can we reverse the marginalisation of the LDCs in international trade and enhance LDCs' effective participation in the multilateral trading system? What about labor and environmental standards, TRIPs, agricultural policy reform, the international implications of the EU enlargement, ...? The public debate in these fields is lively and there is an increasing need for in-depth economic analyses. These are some of the many issues and questions which will be discussed at the ETSG Third Annual Conference in Brussels on September 14-16.
