Abstract

This chapter extends the analysis of the multilateral institutions undertaken in Chapter 2, and takes a closer look at the evolution of the global trading system and exclusion of developing countries and Africa from agenda-setting processes. The fundamental defect of this system lies in its failure to support African countries from diversifying the economic base and building export competitiveness beyond primary products. The structural power of leading economies have contributed to eroding the platform for a positive African agency by making onerous liberalization demands without offering meaningful special and differential treatment to African countries.
