Anti-Dumping: Global Abuse of a Trade Policy Instrument

Bibek Debroy‚ Debashis Chakraborty (Eds.)


About the Book

<p>The increasing use of anti-dumping measures covering a wide range of sectors, both by developed and developing countries in recent years, indicates a policy substitution to protect domestic industries in the face of tariff reforms. While the developing countries are demanding special and different treatment to protect their interest against a possible misuse of this provision by their developed counterparts, many of them also rank among the major violators. In this scenario, a systemic review and subsequent modification/ scrapping of the anti-dumping agreement is the need of the hour. Responding to this need the Hong Kong Ministerial declaration (December 2005) has noted that negotiations on anti-dumping should, as appropriate, "clarify and improve the rules" in three major concern areas (determination of dumping, procedures and the level, scope and duration of adopted measures).&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The eight chapters in the current volume focus on the current scenario in select developed and developing countries, use of this provision in intra-developing country trade and analysis of anti-dumping cases lodged at the WTO dispute settlement body.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The discussions in the volume significantly contribute in the ongoing debate and serve as an important input for current negotiations.</p>
