Politics of globalization: World Trade Organisation and the disputes over Doha Development Agenda. This has captured my attention and of my final year research students, so it became the focus of social investigation and assessment.

 

The reason is obvious. This area has now become a subject of enquiry both in International Relations, International Political Economy, Law, History, Economics and other Social Studies.

 

Combined with our interest in global trade under WTO regime we bring "New Political Science" tools to examine various issues under Doha work programme.

 

We set the research work with a background on the history of GATT on global trade, WTO rules as it affects global trade, theoretical perspective on Doha and development, then many issues such as the cotton initiative; trips and public health; dispute settlement mechanism, agriculture; environment; etc.

 

We have sent our searchlight to assess how the recent financial crisis affected international trade.

 

Few of my students have worked on related areas such as the impact of globalization on Direct Foreign Investment.
