w88 casino News Network (Contributed by the Academic Publications Department)In order to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, promote disciplinary development and academic exchanges, and assist the academic innovation of the University of International w88, the Academic Journals Department continues to hold a series of expert lectures on "Focusing on the Frontiers of Disciplines and Leading Academic Development". On November 25, 2024, the seventh lecture "Maintaining the Multilateral Trading System—The Process and Evolution of the Reform of the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism" was successfully held. The lecture was delivered by Professor Ji Wenhua from the w88 casino of Law, w88 casino, and chaired by Cai Yinghui, deputy director of the Academic Publications Department. The online lecture was broadcast simultaneously through Tencent Conference, w88 casino video account, and bilibili. The number of participants on each platform exceeded 1,600, and it was well received by scholars.

Professor Ji Wenhua took the maintenance of the multilateral trading system as the starting point and conducted a relatively comprehensive and in-depth review of the reform process of the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism (DSM). Based on the characteristics of different historical stages, Professor Ji Wenhua divided the reform process of the WTO dispute settlement mechanism into six stages: construction, review, improvement, dilemma, rescue, and restructuring. He explained the birth of the DSM and its significance to the maintenance of the international multilateral trading system in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. The DSM was in trouble. The underlying causes of the situation and the different attitudes and performances of various WTO member states in this process, the unremitting efforts of developing countries represented by China to save the DSM crisis, etc., painted to the audience a magnificent historical picture of the ups and downs and setbacks of the development of international economic and w88 rule of law. Professor Ji Wenhua believes that the future of the WTO dispute settlement mechanism is generally optimistic. In the long run, multilateralism still has strong resilience. The WTO dispute settlement mechanism and international economic and w88 rule of law will continue to develop and evolve, and will provide reference for international dispute mechanisms in other fields while striving to maintain core features such as legalization and rule-making.

Finally, Ms. Li Shuling, Director of the Editorial Department of Journal of WTO and China, summarized Professor Ji Wenhua’s wonderful lecture and expressed her gratitude. The lecture lasted for 2 hours, and the atmosphere was warm during the period. The lecture was a complete success and achieved the expected results.

The Academic Journals Department will continue to hold a series of lectures, striving to build the expert lecture hall into a brand academic event, continuously enhance the influence of w88 casino's academic journals, and give full play to the academic leadership role. This lecture received strong support from the Publicity Department of the w88 casino.
