Description	This chapter looks into the strengths and weaknesses of the trade regimes themselves as vehicles for coordinating or integrating these concerns. It explores why trade is seen as an important driver of development. Correcting sustainability-driven concerns by harmonizing environmental or occupational health and safety standards is one thing, but different trade strategies themselves can affect the kinds of innovation that an economy or sector undertakes. The World Trade Organization (WTO) took over the administration of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade when it was established in 1995, when trade in merchandise was around fourteen times that of 1950. Dispute settlement is the central pillar of the multilateral trading system, and the WTO's unique contribution to the stability of the global economy. Although modern development theory emphasizes technological innovation as the "engine of economic growth," trade also contributed to advancing industrializing nations during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
