doha , another failed attempt at international cooperation?

• Ten years ago, a new World Trade Organisation that put developing country needs at the centre of the international trade negotiation agenda was proposed. 
• The Ministerial Declaration adopted at the start of the Doha Development Round of trade negotiations, on 14 November 2001, was a promising response to the anti-globalisation riots of the 1990s.
• But the WTO membership has failed to deliver the promised pro-development changes.
•  Finding "development" in the Doha Development Round today is like looking for a needle in a haystack. 
• Developing countries have been completely sidelined by the economic and political interests of global powers.
