"No one can afford to be indifferent to the profound absence of forward momentum in the world trading system. Both regional and global trade negotiations, by quite separate paths and for distinct reasons, have arrived at an impasse. Turning point is an apt phrase suggesting the presence of an array of forces pushing and pulling the present world trading system towards a new configuration with different rules, practices, ideas, and mentalities (Prestowitz, 2002; Barber, 2003). To look at the political economy of dissent through this lens helps identity the processes and behaviours that have produced the present global impasse. "
