World Trade: Global and Local Consequences
September 22, 1999
Listen/download helpAt the end of November the World Trade Organization will hold its fourth worldwide ministerial meeting in Seattle, Washington, marking the beginning of its fifth year. Since 1995, the WTO has managed to over-rule several environmental and safety laws in North America and Europe. On this program, we take a look at the WTO and the significance of its annual meeting, which is expected to draw not only top government officials from around the globe, but also tens of thousands of activists, scholars and labor organizers from around the world.
