    • Summary: As a result of the Doha stalemate and the recent turmoil caused by the U.S. President Trump's "America first" trade policy, the WTO is facing its most serious challenges as a core system for the global trading order. Based on an objective assessments of the expectations of its creators (including Professor John Jackson), its achievements in the settlement of trade disputes and monitoring trade policies of its Members (through TPRM, committee surveillance and trade policy review co-sponsored by OECD and UNCTAD since the Global Financial Crisis), and the failure of the Doha Development Agenda and the proliferation of mega-FTAs (such as the TPP, TTIP and Japan-EU EPA), this lecture will aim at exploring the possible means of reinvigorating the WTO to meet the challenges of global trade governance in the 21st century.
