Abstract

This article criticizes the approach liberal scholars in International Relations and Law have provided to the Dispute Settlement Understanding of the World Trade Organization. Liberal theorists erroneously believe the enhanced legalization of the system, as compared to dispute resolution under the GATT 1947, will reduce the bias towards powerful countries.
