Scenarios about 'World Trade Organization'
The World Trade Organization is an international body established in 1995 to regulate trade between participating nations through agreed-upon rules and dispute resolution mechanisms. It evolved from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and aims to reduce trade barriers, promote free trade, and create a more integrated global economy. In alternate history scenarios, different WTO formation, membership, or policies could dramatically alter patterns of globalization, economic development, and international power dynamics.
