Since the 1990s, the Uruguay Round agreement made at the eighth multilateral GATT negotiations is expected to give rise to trade creation by addressing a wide range of agenda in a multilateral format. Thus, the result of UR will affect the Korean economy substantially, which is the 10th largest nation in trade volume. From a practical standpoint, with the participation of many distinguished scholars and experts, this seminar re-illuminated the meaning and perspective of UR negotiations and discussed important issues such as service, textiles and clothing, TRIPs and agriculture. In addition, it offered a forum to deliberate on Korea's negotiation strategy for the UR negotiations.
These proceedings are a collection of the lectures, papers and formal comments made by the speakers and discussants.
