This volume is a collection of papers and commentaries presented at the Post-Doha Research Agenda for Developing Countries Workshop in October 2006. The workshop was organized cooperatively by ESCAP and WTO as one of the first activities under the new project, the Macao regional Knowledge Hub in Support of Sustainable Trade and development (MARKHUB) sponsored by the government of Macao, China. The book includes six chapters, each followed by commentaries, grouped in the following six parts: Multilateral governance of global trade; regionalism and Multilateralism; Services liberalization as a development opportunity; Trade liberalization and poverty reduction; Taming non-tariff barriers and determining the border for trade policymaking. The publication offers some new ideas for addressing current problems faced by trade policymakers. Concern is also raised regarding some areas that might become problematic, such as preferential rules of origin, non-tariff barriers and behind-the border barriers.
