Source: | Author:TNCCS | Published time: 2022-02-11 | 1087 Views | Share:

Overview: The World Trade Organization (WTO) is in a need of reform, including new rules related to digital economy, information technologies and transnational data flows. While there is not yet a comprehensive agenda for the WTO reform, developing e-commerce rules should be seen as an essential part of this agenda. The development of such rules will allow WTO to demonstrate a capacity to remain relevant to the challenges and opportunities governing the data flows. This special issue proposes that WTO would need to increase regulatory cooperation and encourage regulatory practice on e-commerce and digital economy.
