First sentence: The GATT came into existence as a trade policy instrument for economies where trade decisions were made on the basis of business considerations.
Description: "The book describes Russia's march towards WTO membership, presents the experience gained by former socialist countries in the GATT and gives an analysis of the recent accessions to the WTO. The author warns against 'accession fundamentalism' by WTO members, which may result in Russia's political and economic isolation. The study identifies the weak points in the accession process and makes some recommendations."--BOOK JACKET.
