aeioWTO aims

The World Trade Organization (WTO) deals with the rules of trade between nations at a global or near-global level[1].
The definition is simple but the background is not; WTO rules and actuations are controversial in a lot of cases, unfair to reality or just self-defeating due to the difficulty of putting them into practice.

The proposal of this space will be to:
- Analyse in a critical way and question the WTO itself 
- Examine the basis, necessity and repercussions of its acts
- Identify problems that its rules cause or have caused, in the present economic and commercial context
- Observe application problems of WTO rules

The presentations of the different topics are seeking the readers´ reflection and a later debate about them.
The information will be posted both in English and Spanish. The intention of this initiative is to make finding and accessing bilingual information easier, for this is often a difficult task for those who are interested

I hope it stirs your interest and will be useful to all of you.
