Abstract
Description
Our capacity development initiative addressed complex and controversial policy developments in the build-up and as a follow-up to the 11th World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference (MC11) in December
2017. At MC11 in Buenos Aires, differences on digital commerce could not be bridged. Views were significantly opposed. Discussions were heated. While negotiators cannot reach compromise let alone consensus,
the digital economy continues to grow very fast, with major economic and societal impacts. Digital growth
shapes our reality in both positive and negative ways. This was the general backdrop for our course.
