Summary
Inadequate consideration was given by the founders of the WTO to the institutions that would be needed to govern the rules-based trading system that they were seeking to create. This chapter introduces a WTO Reform Quartet, proposals for WTO reform to make the rule-making, adjudication, and executive functions of the WTO more effective, including providing for the gathering of trade intelligence.
