Publisher Description: This book examines why and how contemporary power shifts caused the American-led push for neoliberal globalization to break down at the World Trade Organization. Historically, the U.S. has pressured other countries to open their markets while maintaining protectionist policies at home. Kristen Hopewell explains how rising giants like China, India, and Brazil have assumed American negotiation tactics, forcing the West to confront its own rhetoric and grinding the Doha Round of trade talks to a halt. |
