Mike Davis writes in his book Planet of Slums, "part of the secret, of course, [to explain the paradoxical urban boom, in the face of urban recession, throughout the third world from 1980-90] was that IMF (and now WTO) enforced policies of agricultural deregulation and 'de-peasentization' were accelerating the exodus of surplus rural labour to urban slums even as cities ceased to be job machines," (10). Clearly he quotes from some other source, and I write this citation not directly about your topic at question, and primarily to reinforce for myself what he himself is getting across, but maybe this helps, in thinking about the role played by the WTO and IMF in global economic restructuring...
