Trade liberalization and national security in the context of WTO framework

Abstract

The GATT/WTO regime based on these four basic principles has played a reasonably productive role in the development and governance of global trade. However, as observed at the outset, the focus of the GATT/WTO regime has so far been the expansion and continuation of market access already negotiated. This, in other words, meant a focus on import control measures.
