Can we afford to be complacent about this situation? After all, Japan has greatly benefited from the multilateral trading system, first under GATT and now under WTO, and the Japanese government has traditionally been strongly committed to the maintenance and strengthening of this system. All the regional economic integration agreements concluded so far are purportedly in compliance with the WTO agreements. Indeed, these agreements have served as the basis for their negotiation. These developments highlight the need to revitalize discussion on multilateral trade negotiations. What perspectives can foster such discussion? In this Symposium, we approach the issues from the following four perspectives: (1) relationship of the multilateral trading system to the regional trade liberalization agenda; (2) functioning of the WTO system; (3) domestic processes of trade policymaking; and (4) global governance; through interdisciplinary discussions among economists, political scientists and legal scholars. While specific issues such as antidumping rules and agricultural trade (for good reason) receive more attention, our aim is to focus primarily on the underlying "philosophical" problems behind the difficulties in these specific areas. We hope that the discussions will lead to concrete proposals for the Japanese government as it struggles to contribute to the successful conclusion of the Doha Round.
