Level Playing Field? Adjudication by Developing Countries
Level Playing Field? Adjudication by Developing Countries
This chapter examines the effectiveness of adjudication as a tool for developing countries by comparing dispute settlement with alternative strategies in the context of asymmetrical bargaining between a small state and a larger trading partner. Two case studies involving Peru and Vietnam, which challenged labeling policies that hindered their fish exports to major trade partners, provide evidence that adjudication can also be effective for small states. Although less attention is given to domestic politics of the complainant state in this chapter, the cases show how adjudication adds leverage to overcome domestic resistance against removal of a protection barrier in the defendant state.
