This is from a paper by Tomer:
considering anti-dumping as an expression of global governance may seem to promise a breath of fresh air. Might governments actually be pursuing some deeper - or loftier - regulatory agendas that could somehow be understood as a form of benign global administration, albeit in a ‘grey zone’? Does anti-dumping possess redeeming qualities in public policy that have not yet been fully explored and understood? Moreover, have the international financial shocks of the last few years, and/or shifts in the realities of global political economy – primarily the ascendance of the ‘BRICS’ (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), now followed by the ‘MINT’ (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey)(O’Neill, 2013) – and/or the rise of important
‘new’ issue areas such as sustainable energy and food security – auspiciously aligned to
provide anti-dumping with new justifications? Is anti-dumping really about responsible
global governance, not the regulation of trade protectionism, after all?
His short answer:
I think not, ...
There's more, obviously, all of which I agree with.
