ABSTRACT

The issue of development is a hot spot in the WTO reform negotiations, which is related to the major interests of the financial and trade development of developing countries. To study the essence of "special and differential treatment" in WTO, that is, the "right to development" of developing countries. However, the theory of "right to development" of developing countries is almost blank, which is far from protecting the vital interests of developing countries. From the perspective of "right to development" theory, this paper interprets the essence of "special and differential treatment" in developing countries, makes an in-depth analysis of the evolution of "right to development" in different periods, emphasizes that "right to development" is the due meaning of the idea of a community with a shared future of mankind, and constructs a community with a shared future of mankind, which can truly realize the right to development of developing countries. In view of the fact that the study of international trade theory needs to explore the complex field of international relations, these exploratory attempts made in this paper provide theoretical support for China and other developing countries to enjoy "special and differential treatment", safeguard the trade interests of developing countries and strive for the rationality of the right to development, and are of great significance to the construction of a new world development pattern and the follow-up negotiations on WTO development issues.
