Summary
The modern history of the World Trading System may be said to start with ministers gathering in Hakone, Japan, to launch the Tokyo Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations, followed a decade later by the launch of the Uruguay Round Negotiations at Punte del Este, Uruguay. The chapter then traces the journey taken by the WTO, covering twelve WTO Ministerial Conferences from 1996 to 2022.
