| Descrizione: | The aim of the paper is to analyse the crisis that the World Trade Organization faces for being a forum for the negotiations among its members. The hypothesis is that in the context of a “globalization backlash”, a trilemma is presented in the negotiating function of the WTO. In this trilemma, the three vertices, each of which designate a feature of the negotiation process, cannot be articulated at the same time, but in pairs, in three scenarios: blockade of the negotiations, light agreements, and plurilaterals. The paper follows a qualitative methodological design. It is based on a large literature review and documental analysis. The figure of the trilemma, as a way of to tackle the WTO’s crisis helps to realize that it is a phenomenon that is intrinsic to the current configuration of the international order. In addition, conclusions point to the fact that institutional reforms may result in an incomplete approach to the problem, since the overcoming of this situation needs of politicaldecisions. |
