This book, a product of a Horizon 2020 research project (RESPECT), is a collaboration between the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute and the China Institute for WTO Studies, University of International Business and Economics. It brings together essays written by teams of European and Chinese trade policy experts, who explore possible paths to revitalise the WTO. They stress the importance of improving the operation of the organisation and negotiating agreements on a core set of areas where national policies create negative spillover effects. Pursuit of issue-specific cooperation on a plurilateral basis is part of the solution but does not remove the need for balance in the choice of issues put forward for deliberation and negotiation and for systemic WTO reform.
