| dc.description.abstract | The chapter examines the proposed new issues in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) vis-a-vis the relevance of African membership of the organisation. The paper places the policy in historical context,examines its underpinning reasons and argues that the policy favours only the developed nations and not the African countries. The paper further contends that the actual reasons for the formation of WTO was far from ordinary free flow of and/or liberalisation of the trade among nations, but one of the neo-colonialism tendency of African trade and economy by the developed nations. in the final analysis, the chapter made some practical recommendations that will make African member states of WTO more relevant in the global international trade policy making. | |
