and India were filing the majority of the anti-dumping cases before the WTO. As the number of anti-dumping

cases has increased, and as countries such as the United States and the European Union feel targeted by the

anti-dumping actions of others, the WTO may well propose some additional guidelines to limit the reach of

anti-dumping laws.

The Environmental Protection Argument

The potential for global trade to affect the environment has become controversial. A president of the Sierra

Club, an environmental lobbying organization, once wrote: “The consequences of globalization for the

environment are not good. … Globalization, if we are lucky, will raise average incomes enough to pay for

cleaning up some of the mess that we have made. But before we get there, globalization could also destroy

enough of the planet’s basic biological and physical systems that prospects for life itself will be radically

compromised.”
