Title:	The World Trade Organization's Dispute Settlement Body and International Economic Relations in the 21st Century
Author:	Dach, Toni M
Description:	Since the conversion of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, the Organization has faced severe difficulties in reaching trade-liberalizing agreements. One potential cause of this inability to reach new agreements is the waning of mutual interest between Member States on the norms of the regime. The norm of the GATT was well-described by John Gerard Ruggie as “embedded liberalism” – free trade with exceptions to ensure domestic stability. However, agreement on this norm has come under fire as some groups push for increased liberalization in line with more orthodox economic principles, while others continue to cling to the safety net of embedded liberalism. Using case studies from the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body, I pinpoint these tensions between orthodox and embedded liberalism, demonstrating how states, transnational actors, and the WTO itself have contributed to these tensions.
