The author provides an analysis of the effects of the collapse of mid-term talks at the WTO Cancun Ministerial meeting [2003], which was intended to advance international trade relations. The failure of the meeting, according to analysts, could signal an emerging conflict that is far more serious than previously thought. However, "it remains to be seen whether pride will ultimately give way to pragmatism in the WTO, and whether the necessary momentum and political will can be summoned to reverse the sorry Cancun outcome" (NATIONAL INTEREST)..
