Abstract

This paper examines the changing nature of EU and US trade policy toward developing countries. While previous GATT and WTO rounds of trade negotiations had been largely dominated by EU-US bilateral bargaining in a multilateral context, much of the Doha Round agenda has seen the EU and US face the need to respond to developing country calls for reductions in EU and US trade protection and export subsidization. This paper 1) outlines asymmetries in the changing nature of EU and US trade protection against developing country imports; 2) examines commonalities in EU and US Doha Round negotiating positions towards developing countries and 3) discusses EU and US responses to recent WTO decisions in cases brought by developing countries.
