“…This is consistent with the principles of international political economy as set out by Strange (Stopford et al, 1991): international competition is not only between companies, but also between governments who defend the interests of their home companies. But, as underlined by Deblock (2010), this characteristic implies that rules and trade disciplines apply first to governments and to a lesser extent to companies. This is the reason why only governments can be prosecuted by the WTO's Dispute Settlement Understanding and not companies.…”

“…Second, the mercantilist (or ''commercialist'' according to Deblock, 2010) logic of WTO and not taking into account strategic alliances, it is normal that the two main world traders (apart from EU, see above) should be the two main players of multilateral negotiations as they are negotiating reciprocal opening of their markets.…”

“…Following this model, the WTO has contributed to deepening and consolidating international trade liberalisation since its inception. In this respect, the current crisis of the WTO is also the indicator of a more general crisis of global trade governance (Deblock, 2010;Abbas, 2011). There is a striking discrepancy between the governance of world trade under the aegis of WTO and the rapid changes of the world economy and trade, 20 years after WTO was established, there is a striking discrepancy between the governance of world trade under the aegis of WTO and the rapid changes of the world economy and trade, as well as the new economic, social and environmental challenges of the beginning of the twenty-first century.…”

Purpose -The global governance of trade is in a deadlock and the WTO is suffering from a long standing crisis of legitimacy. This paper aims to analyse the main issues which might influence the governance of world trade from now until 2030 and present quantitative projections of international trade.Design/methodology/approach -The research on the main issues which might influence the governance of world trade from now until 2030 draws on a detailed analysis of the WTO and trade policies. Four scenarios of the world economy are presented, which are derived from the international AUGUR research project ''Challenges for Europe in the world in 2030'' coordinated by Paris Nord University. The analysis takes into account econometric forecasting of world trade conducted in the framework of this project.Findings -First, the failure of the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations to reach its ambitious agenda derives from the discrepancy between the governance of world trade and the new power relationship prevailing in the world economy, with new emerging powers (China, India, etc.) rapidly increasing their share of world trade. Second, the continuous restructuring of world trade and economy, which goes together with new forms of globalization, will increase pressure for a profound reform of the governance of world trade in the next few years.Research limitations/implications -This paper calls for a reform of world trade governance, especially of the missions of WTO within a renovated economic world order. Future research could investigate more deeply the potential for regional trade integration, which is reinforced by international production networks. Regional trade agreements might be an increasing alternative to multilateral trade agreements. Originality/value -This paper brings new ideas by raising the issue of the governance of world trade using a prospective approach, with the aim to identify the key channels through which international trade integration will impact the world economy. This study bases its analysis on potential scenarios from now on until 2030, each of these scenarios corresponding to a specific institutional configuration.

“…Celui-ci est désormais déterminé par des tendances à l'intégration et par les mises en réseaux des structures productives. Cette contradiction entre une économie mondiale intégrée de façon croissante par les réseaux de firmes et des négociations de nature strictement interétatique expliquerait les défaillances du multilatéralisme en tant que régime de construction d'un système de droit international sur un mode intergouvernemental (Deblock, 2010). Cette contradiction est amplifiée par le fait que l'OMC cloisonne les thématiques alors que le système commercial multilatéral est désormais un système intégré au sens où il y a convergence entre politique commerciale et politique sociale et environnementale, entre politique commerciale et politique technologique et bien entendu entre politique commerciale et politique de développement.…”

RésuméCet article présente les principales contradictions dans lesquels est prise l'Organisation mondiale du commerce tel que les révèle le déroulement du programme de Doha pour le développement. Ils constituent une manifestation des contradictions structurelles et institutionnelles dans les rapports NordSud au sein du système commercial multilatéral. L'article réfute la thèse du nombre comme explication prédominante de l'enlisement de la négociation. L'articulation entre la nature de la régulation commerciale contenue dans les Accords de l'OMC et l'évolution des équilibres de puissance constitue la source majeure des dysfonctionnements du système commercial multilatéral. Il en résulte un abandon de la dimension développement du cycle de Doha et une interrogation sur la soutenabilité environnementale et sociale du régime commercial de l'OMC.Mots-clés : multilatéralisme, libre-échange, émergence, traitement spécial et différencié.
