Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: It has long been observed that developing countries made scant use of dispute set-tlement under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Less clear are the reasons for this. Most observers insist that the various GATT reforms to help developing countries failed to insulate them from the �power politics� of the system (Kuruvila 1997). Not surprisingly, many of these same observers predict that the greater �legalism� of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU), in particular, will encourage more participation by developing countries. We dissent from this view, arguing that a lack of legal capacity hampers the ability of poorer complainants to make the most of the reforms ushered in by the DSU, in relation to their wealthier complaiants. We find, in particular, that developing countries fail to settle early, unlike developed countries, and trace this to their lack of legal capacity. Implications for disptue settlement reform in the Doha Development Round are spelled out.
