Preface
Developing and transition economies that acceded to the multilateral trading system since the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995 had made extensive market access commitments in the course of membership negotiations. After joining the multilateral trading system, however, these recently acceded members (RAMs) generally expressed reservations against further market opening in the Doha Round launched in 2001, also known as the Doha Development Agenda (DDA). At the same time, a number of RAMs have been aggressively using the dispute settlement mechanism (DSM) at the WTO, partly to address issues related to their terms of accession.
