Abstract:
This report for the UN-ICT Task Force reviews the history of the WTO's work on e-commerce and IT and provides a comprehensive perspective of how WTO Members applied the rules-based trading system to e-commerce and IT through the Doha Development Agenda. Its purpose was to provide non-WTO experts with interests in the trade dimensions of e-commerce, IT, and developing countries' participation in global IT governance with a reference tool that would explain both the scope and importance of the WTO's work on e-commerce and IT.
