The WTO started as the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) in the wake of the Second World War and was later institutionalized in 1995. It has thus been the backbone of healthy trade relations between nations. Nevertheless, the constant trade war between the US and China undermines the WTO's dispute resolution mechanism and its ability to adapt to changes in global trade. The thesis will critically assess the WTO's role in resolving those problems by analysing the evolution of GATT into WTO, past trade conflicts and case study of the US-China trade war.54enWTOtrade conflictEconomicsEconomics::World EconomicsEconomics::GlobalizationHozzáférhető a 2022 decemberi felsőoktatási törvénymódosítás értelmében.
