While there is widespread agreement that the substantive results of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Hong Kong Ministerial meeting were meager, there is no agreement on where the Doha Round negotiations go from here. Optimists still hold that breakthroughs are possible over the next few months and that the round can be successfully completed by mid-2007. Pessimists argue that WTO members should admit that the talks will certainly extend into 2009—after the French and U.S. presidential elections in 2007 and 2008. To assess the prospects for completion of the Doha Round, AEI has assembled a group of experts to analyze and evaluate the future of the multilateral negotiations.
