1. The rise of authoritarian regimes with acute ideological and theological justifications in the powerful countries of the world has not only unsettled the international order but has also adversely affected the democratic norms and practices within national politics elsewhere.
2. The hope of an interdependent and fair international order, which emerged in the 1980s and the 1990s is now completely shattered. The GATT negotiators and the WTO participants were driven by crass national interests, none took the cause of humanity. Moreover, the efforts to get mechanical rules through only made the whole mechanism inoperative.
3. The root of all these was that the world united to wreck the very vehicle, which was driving the world towards the new order of freedom and unity, which was then known as LPG.
4. Now, there is a hue and cry in the democratic pockets all over the world about the slide of democracy. This is the most ironic of phenomena; they wish to revive democracy with rhetoric without taking its causation into consideration.
5. What is needed in the world is to revive the spirit of neoliberalism, and reinforce its facilitating mechanism. The WTO should be vested with real jobs and all must back it very tactically to sideline the global rogues.
