The Wto And The Anti-Corruption Movement, Padideh Ala'i Jan 2008

The Wto And The Anti-Corruption Movement, Padideh Ala'i

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This article explores the role of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in promoting good governance while placing WTO within the larger framework of the ongoing global anti-corruption movement. Governmental policies aimed at fighting corruption are part of the good governance criteria set forth by the World Bank and other donor agencies. An important element of good governance is transparency, which has also been one of the pillars of the multilateral trading system.

The essay defends the concept of counterterrorism …
