			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In fifteen years of dispute settlement the WTO has seen over 400 cases, whereof forty percent have been initiated by developing countries. In fact, some developing countries have become confident users of the system and currently seven out of the eleven most frequent complainants are developing countries. The majority, however, continue to be hampered in making use of the system as they face structural and systemic challenges. In particular, the importance of ‘national legal capacity’, including the existence of structures that facilitate the coordination among public and private stakeholders is often underestimated. Against this backdrop there is a great need for generating analysis on the various country experiences to inform activities aimed at strengthening legal capacity in developing countries.</p>
<p>In response to this need, ICTSD has engaged in a bottom-up assessment of the strategies that individual developing countries have developed to enhance their ability to make use of WTO dispute settlement and to coordinate such activities among public and private stakeholders on a national level. The outcome is the form of nine country studies is now presented in the book Dispute Settlement at the WTO – The Developing Country Experience. Countries covered in the analysis include Brazil, Argentina, China, India, Thailand, Bangladesh, Egypt, South Africa and Kenya. The publication concludes with a comprehensive list of recommendations. For further information kindly consult our webpage at: <a href="http://ictsd.org/i/dsu/98179/">http://ictsd.org/i/dsu/98179/</a>.</p>
