“…The WTO's dispute settlement role tends at its best to dampen and discipline interstate conflict (Ikenberry 2001(Ikenberry , 2011Keohane, Macedo, and Moravcsik 2009;Cottier and Elsig 2011;Cottier 2013;VanGrasstek 2013). The accession of Russia, an arguably rising, but certainly disruptive power, within the institutions of global economic governance, and in particular, within the WTO, will be an important test of the adaptability of the institutions of liberal order created under the umbrella of US economic and security leadership.…”

The author examines the role of Russia's WTO accession in shaping institutional adaptation across several important dimensions, arguing that WTO accession has generated more scope for pro-trade as opposed to protectionist domestic interest groups, constrained the scope of trade policy, and made more and better information available to deliberations by business and the public related to trade. Adjustments to Russian legislation and trade policies through the lengthy accession process have, it is argued, helped elicit more transparent forms of business-government coordination. The article also explores the role of Russia's WTO commitments in shaping the functioning of the Eurasian Customs Union formed in 2010. The crisis in Russia's relations with the EU and the US, initially sparked by contending projects of regional economic integration, will be a major challenge for the WTO's agenda-setting and conflict management functions, a test having implications for the broad question of relevance of the WTO in an atmosphere of renewed geopolitical tensions among major powers.

“…All other countries are subject to a review every 6 years, with a possibility of a longer interim period for the least‐developed economies . The WTO conducts between 14 and 20 trade policy reviews a year, which is a slight increase compared with the early stages of the TPRM during the GATT era (VanGrasstek, ). As of the end of 2016, the TPRM had concluded more than 450 trade policy reviews.…”

Do trade flows respond to nudges? Evidence from the WTO’s Trade Policy Review Mechanism

Relatively little is known about the economic effects of WTO members’ communications outside of official negotiations and dispute proceedings. This paper considers whether interactions between members through the Trade Policy Review Mechanism, the WTO’s prime transparency institution, lead to subsequent changes in bilateral trade flows. Trade policy concern submissions are more likely to lead to positive trade responses when (i) the receiving country is less concerned about terms‐of‐trade losses, (ii) the submitter is more willing to engage in WTO disputes with the reviewed member to challenge controversial trade policies, and (iii) the submitting country challenges trade policies in the nonchemical manufacturing sector. Nudges through the TPR process are not successful in raising agricultural trade.
