Abstract
A debate is underway at the WTO over developing country status. As well, various proposals have been made to reform special and differential treatment (SDT). This essay summarizes views expressed and analyzes them against the background of the history of SDT, the Generalized System of Preferences and WTO provision of technical assistance and capacity building. The argument presented is that many of the current concerns can be accommodated in existing provisions without need for the radical changes that have been proposed. The author concludes by offering observations on the path forward for the WTO and its Members.
