About the Organization

 

General Information

The World Trade Organization (WTO) Resource Centre at the University of Hong Kong is supported by WTO with the endorsement of the Hong Kong SAR Government. The Centre is an integral part of the University's Institute for China and Global Development. Its aim is to promote a better understanding of the world trade regime in Hong Kong and the region.

The Centre's Collection was set up as a virtual collection of WTO information and publications to support research and training programmes of the Institute for China and Global Development, multi-disciplinary research and teaching activities in the University related to interactions with the global economy; and to provide essential information needs to other academic and research institutions, government agencies, business and industry organizations.

The Collection consists of monographs, serials, pamphlets, non-prints, electronic and Internet resources covering a wide range of subjects including policies, trade, industry, environment, and law. These materials are acquired through purchase, with Internet resources identified from the World Wide Web.
