520 _a"This book proposes a new approach to differentiating between developing countries in the context of Special and Differential Treatment (SDT) in the World Trade Organisation. Offering unique insights into SDT reform within the WTO, the book proposes the method of differentiated differentiation and demonstrates its operationalisation using the WTO Customs Valuation Agreement. Through identifying key indicators to categorise constraints faced by developing countries, the book establishes objective criteria to depoliticise access to SDT. Promoting a case-by-case approach, the book also employs a statistics-based score procedure to determine a threshold for graduating countries out of SDT. Through flexible tracking and evidence-based arguments, the book provides a transitional method of reform which maintains full compliance with WTO members' obligations. The book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in international trade law, economic law, and the WTO"-- Provided by publisher
