The impact of the WTO on the legal culture of Asian states
Journal Title: Polish Law Review - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The World Trade Organization law, similarly to the former GATT 1947, was to a large extent prepared by the representatives of western countries. This fact has deep consequences for the mechanisms of functioning of this organization. Western legal culture has been reflected in various elements of the WTO law including dispute settlement procedures, relatively precise language regulations, as well as areas of the regulation itself. Those factors confronted with the Asian legal culture can lead to the conclusion of incompatibility of WTO law with the legal culture of Asia. Interestingly, Asian states were able to adapt to these specific legal conditions taking advantage of certain WTO legal instruments. The fantastic process of learning and to some extent adapting to the World Trade Organization’s system to Asian legal culture can be very well observed in the processes which occurred after the accession of China to the WTO. However, the repeated calls for the reform of the WTO system should also include better adaptation to Eastern legal culture.<br/><br/>
