How is WTO more effective then GATT?
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is more effective than the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) due to its comprehensive framework and enhanced enforcement mechanisms. Unlike GATT, which primarily focused on trade in goods, the WTO covers services and intellectual property as well. The WTO also has a more structured dispute resolution process, allowing for faster and binding resolutions to trade disputes. Additionally, the WTO's broader membership and institutional support facilitate more robust global trade negotiations and cooperation.
Why gatt was replaced by wto?
While the GATT functioned well enough, the leading members wished to replace it with a world-wide trade-regulating body like the WTO for a number of reasons. First, the GATT rules applied to trade only in merchandise goods. In addition to goods, the WTO covers trade in services and trade-related aspects of intellectual property (through the agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights-TRIPs). Second, while GATT was a multilateral instrument, by the 1980s many new agreements of a plurilateral, and therefore selective nature had been added. The agreements which constitute the WTO are almost all multilateral and, thus, involve commitments for the entire membership. Third, The WTO dispute settlement system is faster, more automatic, and thus much less susceptible to blockages, than the old GATT system. But beyond these practical and functional reasons for establishing the WTO, there were also more philosophical and symbolic reasons. The GATT was a set of rules, a multilateral agreement, with no institutional foundation, only a small associated secretariat which had its origins in the attempt to establish an International Trade Organization in the 1940s. By contrast, the WTO is a permanent institution with its own secretariat. Moreover, the GATT was applied on a "provisional basis" even if, after more than forty years, governments chose to treat it as a permanent commitment while the WTO commitments are fully and functionally permanent.
