This book shows how large an impact the WTO has on developing countries. It assesses the subsidies given and shows how they will be affected by trade liberalization. It looks in particular at the TRIPS agreement and assesses the costs and benefits that it will have for developing countries. Many of the chapters are versions of papers presented at The WTO and Developing Countries conference, held at King's College London in September 2002. It combines contributions non-governmental organizations such as Save the Children, Oxfam and Action Aid, as well as those from academics in the field.
