Abstract
1947 - After a war that ravaged the world, the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) opened the door to the internationalization of markets: lower tariffs, dumping and fight against the quota, while a series of measures were taken to move towards greater economic liberalism.
1994 - Years have passed and the globalization process has been ongoing since the early 1980s, forcing the nations to review the organization of world trade. In this context, and after several years of negotiations, the WTO (World Trade Organization) was created to help countries enter the free market at all-will. This organization, meeting places and the struggle for economic liberalism, will become over time very powerful, able to punish countries not complying with the laws of the market. Between negotiations, monitoring and proposals, the WTO will play an essential role in the globalization process. It should be here to show to what extent it plays this role.
To do this, after seeing that the WTO has become over the years an organization at the heart of the globalization process, we show that this place of discussion is probably the most influential in the world today. Finally, we show that in recent years, this connection can be nuanced because this organization is being increasingly contested and seems to show its limits.
