How does the WTO change the role of national and local governments? Does it unite and better communication between nations and local governments?
The WTO is a supranational organization that is establishing its supreme authority to defend the right to free trade. Many local and national laws restricting commerce in any way may be construed as an impediment to trade which must be removed. The WTO will only allow national governments to participate in disputes, so local governments lose their ability to communicate local concerns.
