Summary:

This book examines the World Trade Organization's (WTO) anti-dumping regulations and their implications for developing countries, with a focus on Nigeria. It highlights the challenges faced by Nigeria in implementing these regulations due to corruption, resource mismanagement, and insecurity, which have led to the country becoming a dumping ground for substandard products. The author critiques the GATT anti-dumping regulations as ineffective for developing countries, arguing that they fail to level the playing field and address issues like predatory pricing. The book aims to explore the relevance and utility of these regulations in the context of Nigeria's economic struggles and the broader global trading system. Generated by AI.
