Abstract

As a regular reader of SAMUDRA Report, I felt encouraged to write this letter by Nalini Nayak’s and Anna-Rosa Martinez’s calls for a debate on the WTO in their responses to your editorial comment of December 1999. Anna-Rosa Martinez, in her response, made some of the key points necessary to any debate on the WTO—the subjugation of all areas of human development to the demands of trade, the contested legitimacy of the institution itself, and the short sightedness of any development strategy that relies on export at the expense of food security, environmental conservation, and nurturing young people for a better future.
